violations of section 337 of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C.
1337, in the importation into the United
States, the sale for importation, or the
sale within the United States after

Investigations (‘‘OUII’’) participated in
the investigation. 86 FR at 27106–07.
Prior to the issuance of the final
initial determination (‘‘Final ID’’) by the
Chief Administrative Law Judge
(‘‘CALJ’’), the investigation was
terminated in part as to claims 6, 11,
and 12 of the ’156 patent, claim 22 of
the ’554 patent, and claim 17 of the ’555
patent. See Order No. 15 (Nov. 19,
2021), unreviewed by Comm’n Notice
(Dec. 20, 2021). In addition, DISH
withdrew its allegations that iFIT and
Peloton infringe claims 9 and 12 of the
’156 patent, claim 19 of the ’554 patent,
claims 12 and 13 of the ’555 patent, and
claim 6 of the ’564 patent. The
investigation was further terminated as
to claims 6–8, 10, and 13–15 of the ’564
patent, claims 3 and 6–12 of the ’156
patent, claims 18, 19, 21–25, and 30 of
the ’554 patent, claims 12, 13, 16, 17,
26, and 27 of the ’555 patent, and all
asserted claims of the ’680 patent. Order
No. 21 (Mar. 3, 2022), unreviewed by
Comm’n Notice (Mar. 23, 2022).
On September 9, 2022, the CALJ
issued the Final ID, which found that
Respondents violated section 337.
On November 18, 2022, after
considering the parties’ petitions and
the responses thereto, the Commission
determined to review the Final ID in
part. 87 FR 72510, 72510–12 (Nov. 25,
2022).
On February 13, 2023, MIRROR and
DISH filed a joint, unopposed motion to
partially terminate the investigation as
to MIRROR based on a settlement
agreement between DISH and MIRROR.
On March 8, 2023, the Commission
issued its final determination, finding
respondents Peloton and iFIT in
violation of section 337 as to the
asserted claims of the ’156, ’554, and
’555 patents, but not as to the asserted
claims of the ’564 patent. 88 FR 15736–
38 (Mar. 14, 2023). As a remedy for that
violation, the Commission issued an
LEO and CDOs directed to Peloton and
iFIT. Id. The Commission’s final
determination also terminated MIRROR
from the investigation. Id.
On May 5, 2023, the Commission
modified the remedial orders in certain
respects. 88 FR 30158 (May 10, 2023).
On May 3, 2023, DISH filed a petition
requesting that the Commission rescind
the LEO and the CDO issued against
Peloton based on settlement. DISH also
filed confidential and public
supplements to the petition that
included confidential and public
versions of the settlement agreement
between DISH and Peloton. The petition
asserts that recission is warranted based
on changed conditions of fact and law
stemming from DISH and Peloton
reaching a settlement agreement that

fully resolves the dispute between DISH
and Peloton concerning the subject
matter of the underlying investigation.
The petition does not request rescission
as to Respondents other than Peloton.
The petition states that Respondents do
not oppose the motion.
DISH also filed a motion to terminate
Peloton based on settlement; a motion to
stay the proceedings and suspend the
Commission’s remedial orders as to
Peloton; and a Notice acknowledging
that the two motions will become moot
upon grant of the Petition for
Rescission. See Complainants’ Motion
to Terminate the Investigation as to
Respondent Peloton Interactive, Inc.
Based on a Settlement Agreement (May
3, 2023); Complainants’ Motion to Stay
Proceedings and Suspend Remedial
Orders as to Respondent Peloton
Interactive, Inc., Based on a Settlement
Agreement, and for Expedited
Consideration of Same (May 2, 2023);
Complainants’ Notice to the Comm’n
(May 5, 2023).
On May 8, 2023, OUII filed a response
supporting DISH’s petition. No other
responses were received in response to
the petition.
In consideration of the petition and
the response thereto, the Commission
has determined to institute a rescission
proceeding in this investigation.
Consistent with an order issued
concurrently herewith, the Commission
has determined to rescind the modified
remedial orders issued in this
investigation to the extent they apply to
Peloton. The settlement agreement fully
resolves the dispute between DISH and
Peloton concerning the subject matter of
this investigation, the settlement
agreement constitutes changed
circumstances warranting rescission
under section 337(k), (19 U.S.C.
1337(k)), and the petition complies with
the procedural requirements of
Commission Rule 210.76 (19 CFR
210.76). The Commission has further
determined to find the motion to
terminate respondent Peloton and the
motion to stay the proceedings moot.
The Commission has further determined
to terminate this rescission proceeding.
The Commission vote for these
determinations took place on June 1,
2023.
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
