SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on August 1, 2017, based on a complaint
and supplement, filed on behalf of
Hologic, Inc. of Marlborough,
Massachusetts. 82 FR 35823–24 (Aug. 1,
2017). The complaint, as supplemented,
alleges violations of section 337 based
upon the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, and the
sale within the United States after
importation of certain x-ray breast
imaging devices and components
thereof by reason of infringement of
certain claims of U.S. Patent No.
7,831,296; U.S. Patent No. 8,452,379
(‘‘the ’379 patent’’); U.S. Patent No.
7,688,940; U.S. Patent No. 7,986,765
(‘‘the ’765 patent’’); and U.S. Patent No.
7,123,684. The complaint further alleges
that an industry in the United States
exists as required by section 337. The
notice of investigation named FUJIFILM
Corporation of Tokyo, Japan; FUJIFILM
Medical Systems USA, Inc. of Stamford,
Connecticut; and FUJIFILM Techno
Products Co., Ltd. of Hanamaki-Shi
Iwate, Japan (collectively ‘‘Fujifilm’’) as
respondents. The Office of Unfair
Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) was
named as a party. On January 18, 2018,
the ’765 patent was terminated in its
entirety from the investigation. See
Order No. 18 (Jan. 18, 2018)
(unreviewed). On February 27, 2018,
claims 6–10 of the ’379 patent were
terminated from the investigation. See
Order No. 21 (Feb. 27, 2018)

determination (‘‘ID’’) in this
investigation. The ALJ found that a
violation of section 337 has occurred.
On October 24, 2018, the Commission
determined to review the ID in part. 83
FR 54608–10 (October 30, 3018).
On February 4, 2019, Hologic and
Fujifilm filed a joint motion to terminate
the investigation based on a settlement.
The motion includes both confidential
and public versions of the settlement
agreement, and the parties represent
that there are no other agreements,
written or oral, express or implied
between them concerning the subject
matter of the proceeding. The parties
also contend that the termination of the
investigation would not adversely affect
the public interest. On February 8, 2019,
OUII filed a response in support of the
motion.
The Commission has determined to
grant the joint motion. The Commission
finds that the private parties have
complied with the Commission’s Rules,
and that termination of the investigation
would not adversely affect the public
interest. The investigation is terminated.
The authority for the Commission’s
determination is contained in section
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part
210 of the Commission’s Rules of
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part
