June 28, 2010. 75 FR 44988 (July 30, 2010). The complaint alleged 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in 
the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain toner 
cartridges and components thereof by reason of infringement of various 
claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,903,803 and 6,128,454. The

    On April 6, 2011, Canon and Respondents filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon entry of a 
consent order. On April 7, 2011, the Commission investigative attorney 
filed a response in support of the joint motion. No other responses to 
the motion were filed.
    On April 8, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the joint 
motion to terminate the investigation in its entirety. The ALJ found 
that the consent order stipulation complied with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21(c)(3) (19 CFR 210.21(c)(3)) and would not be 
contrary to the public interest. None of the parties petitioned for 
review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID and to issue a 
consent order. Accordingly, this 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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).
