persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on
June 5, 2018, based on a complaint filed
by Anheuser-Busch InBev S.A. of
Leuven, Belgium and Anheuser-Busch,
LLC of St. Louis, Missouri (collectively,
‘‘Complainants’’). 83 FR 26088–89 (Jun.
5, 2018). Supplements to the complaint
were filed on May 4, 2018, and May 15,
2018. The complaint alleges a violation
of section 337 by reason of infringement
of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.

Sfmt 4703
9,162,372 (‘‘the ’372 patent’’); 9,517,876;
9,555,572 (‘‘the ’572 patent’’); and
9,944,453. The notice of investigation
names as respondents Heineken
International B.V. of Amsterdam,
Netherlands; Heineken N.V. of
Amsterdam, Netherlands; Heineken
USA Inc. of White Plains, New York;
Heineken Holding N.V. of Amsterdam,
Netherlands; Heineken Beer Systems
B.V. of Amsterdam, Netherlands;
Heineken Brouwerijen B.V. of
Amsterdam, Netherlands; Heineken
Export Americas B.V. of Amsterdam,
Netherlands; and Heineken Global
Procurement B.V of Amsterdam,
Netherlands (collectively,
‘‘Respondents’’). Id. at 26089. The Office
of Unfair Import Investigations is not
participating in this investigation.
Subsequently, the investigation was
terminated in part as to the ’372 and
’572 patents. Order No. 26 (March 21,
2019), not reviewed, Commission Notice
(April 11, 2019).
Pursuant to Commission Rule
210.21(a), 19 CFR 210.21(a), on April
29, 2019, Complainants moved to
terminate this investigation in whole on
the basis of withdrawal of the
complaint. On April 30, 2019,
Respondents filed a response opposing
the motion. Respondents contended that
termination is inappropriate given the
advanced posture of the investigation
and the fact that they had only
temporarily halted importation of their
accused products.

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 20 / Thursday, January 30, 2020 / Notices
On May 3, 2019, the ALJ issued an
initial determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No.
50) granting Complainants’ motion. He
found no extraordinary circumstances
exist that would prevent the requested
termination of this investigation. Order
No. 50 at 3.
On May 10, 2019, Respondents filed
a petition for review of the ID. On May
17, 2019, Complainants filed a response
opposing the petition.
On June 26, 2019, the Commission
determined to review the subject ID.
Commission Notice (June 26, 2019).
Upon review, the Commission has
determined to grant Complainants’
request to terminate the investigation
based on withdrawal of its complaint
allegations. The Commission has
considered Respondents’ arguments
regarding Complainants’ filing of their
motion to terminate shortly before the
hearing was scheduled to begin, after
extensive proceedings, including
discovery, had occurred before the ALJ.
However, it would be premature at this
time for the Commission to decide the
effect, if any, of this termination on a
future complaint that might be filed.
Accordingly, the Commission need not
and does not now decide what action it
may take, or what conditions may
apply, should Complainants file a
complaint based on the same or similar
alleged violations of section 337 by
these Respondents in the future. Nor
does the Commission now decide
whether and how, if a new investigation
were instituted based on the same or
similar allegations, the record from the
instant investigation may be used in
such future investigation.
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
210.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: January 24, 2020.
