Investigation

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review the presiding administrative 
law judge's initial determination (``ID'') (Order No. 9) granting a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 2, 2011, based on a complaint filed by Sharp Corporation of 
Japan (``Sharp'') that named as respondents: AU Optronics Corp. of 
Taiwan; AU Optronics Corporation America of Houston, Texas; BenQ 
America of Irvine, California; BenQ Corporation of Taiwan; Haier 
America Trading LLC, of New York, New York; Haier Group Company of 
China; LG Electronics Inc. of South Korea; LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc. 
of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; SANYO Electric Co. of Japan; SANYO 
North America Corporation of San Diego, California; TCL Corporation of 
China; TTE Technology, Inc. d/b/a TCL America of Indianapolis, Indiana; 
and VIZIO, Inc. of Irvine, California. 76 FR 11512 (Mar. 2, 2011). The 
complaint alleged a violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation, sale for importation, 
and sale within the United States after importation of certain liquid 
crystal display (``LCD'') devices, products containing same, and 
methods for using same by reason of the infringement of certain claims 
of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,879,364; 7,304,626; 7,532,183; 7,283,192; 
6,937,300; 7,057,689; and 7,838,881.
    On April 21, 2011, Sharp and the AU Optronics respondents (``AUO'') 
filed a joint motion for termination of the investigation on the basis 
of settlement and licensing agreements. No other party opposed the 
motion. The agreements call for Sharp and AUO to terminate the 
investigation and to dismiss parallel district court proceedings. The 
other respondents make or sell products that contain accused AUO LCD 
components, and the settlement between Sharp and AUO thereby resolved 
all disputes in the investigation.
    On May 3, 2011, the ALJ granted the motion as an ID (Order No. 9).
    No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has 
determined not to review the ID.
    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: May 23, 2011.
James R. Holbein,
Secretary to the Commission.
