ASUS Computer International of
Fremont, California (collectively,
‘‘ASUS’’). Id. at 16131. The Office of
Unfair Import Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) is
participating in the investigation. Id.
On November 24, 2020, this
investigation was terminated as to
ASUS. Order No. 19 (Nov. 12, 2020),
unreviewed, Notice (Nov. 24, 2020).
On January 27, 2021, Neodron and the
remaining respondents (Amazon, Apple,
LG, Microsoft, Motorola, Samsung, and
Sony) filed a joint motion to terminate
this investigation as to the remaining
respondents based on settlements
between Neodron and each remaining
respondent. On February 8, 2021, OUII
filed a statement in support of the
motion.
On February 19, 2021, the ALJ issued
Order No. 22, the subject ID, which
granted Neodron’s motion. The ID found
that the motion complies with 19 CFR
210.21(b) and that no extraordinary
circumstances prevent denying the
motion. The ID also finds that there is
no evidence indicating that terminating
this investigation based on the various
settlement agreements would be
contrary to the public interest. No
petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not
to review the subject ID. The
investigation is hereby terminated in its
entirety.
The Commission vote for this
determination took place on March 15,
2021.
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.
