``Nokia''). 75 FR 4583-4 (Jan. 28, 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, and 
the sale within the United States after importation of certain 
electronic devices, including mobile phones, portable music players, 
and computers by reason of infringement of various claims of United 
States Patent Nos. 6,895,256; 6,518,957; 6,714,091; 6,834,181; 
6,924,789; 6,073,036; and 6,262,735. The complaint named Apple Inc. of 
Cupertino, California (``Apple'') as respondent.
    On March 25, 2011, the ALJ issued his final Initial Determination 
(``ID''), finding no violation of section 337 by Apple with respect to 
any of the asserted claims of the pending patents. On May 26, 2011, the 
Commission determined, upon Nokia's and the Commission investigative 
attorney's (``IA'') respective petitions and Apple's contingent 
petition, to review the ID in part, and requested briefing from the 
parties on the issues under review. 76 FR 31938 (June 2, 2011). On June 
9, 2011, the parties submitted their respective briefs on the issues 
under review.
    On June 16, 2011, Nokia and Apple filed a joint motion to terminate 
the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. On June 17, 
2011, the IA filed a response in support of the motion.
