-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 29) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') terminating the above-captioned enforcement proceeding based 
on a settlement agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this enforcement 
proceeding on December 18, 2009, based on a complaint filed by Samsung 
Electronics Co., Ltd. (``Samsung'') of Korea. 74 FR 67248. The 
complaint alleges violations of the limited exclusion order and cease 
and desist orders issued at the conclusion of the underlying 
investigation, where the Commission found a violation 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, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain liquid 
crystal display devices and products containing the same by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,771,344. The 
Commission's notice of enforcement proceeding named the following 
respondents: Sharp Corporation of Japan; Sharp Electronics Corporation 
of Mahwah, New Jersey; and Sharp Electronics Manufacturing, Company of 
America, Inc. of San Diego, California (collectively, ``Sharp'').
    On February 12, 2010, Samsung and Sharp jointly moved to terminate 
the enforcement proceeding on the basis of a settlement agreement. No 
party opposed the motion.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on March 5, 2010, granting the motion 
for termination. He found that the motion for termination satisfies 
Commission rule 210.21(b). He further found, pursuant to Commission 
rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of this enforcement proceeding by 
settlement agreement is in the public interest. No party petitioned for 
review of the ID. The Commission has determined not to review the ID, 
and the enforcement proceeding 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 sections 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure (19 CFR 210.21, 210.42(h).

    By order of the Commission.

     Issued: March 19, 2010.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
