``Rovi''). 75 FR 71737 (November 24, 2010). The complaint named as 
respondents Toshiba Corp. of Japan and its subsidiaries Toshiba 
America, Inc. of New York, New York; Toshiba America Consumer Products, 
LLC of Wayne, New Jersey; and Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. 
of Irvine, California (collectively, ``Toshiba''). The complaint 
alleged a violation of section 337 in the importation, sale for 
importation, and sale within the United States after importation of 
certain products containing interactive program guide and parental 
controls technology by reason of the infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent Nos. 6,305,016; 6,020,929; and 6,701,523.
    On July 6, 2011, Rovi and Toshiba moved to terminate the 
investigation based on a license agreement that settled the parties' 
dispute. On July 11, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion. Order No. 18.
    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: July 28, 2011.
