SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 19, 2011, based on a complaint filed by Renesas 
Electronics Corporation (``Renesas'') of Tokyo, Japan. 76 FR 58041 
(Sept. 19, 2011). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,199,432 and 
6,531,400. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic 
industry. The sole respondent named in the Commission's notice of 
investigation is Vizio of Irvine, California.
    On June 4, 2012, complainant Renesas and respondent Vizio filed a 
joint motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(2) to terminate the 
investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement (``Settlement 
Agreement'') that resolves their litigation. Public and confidential 
versions of the Settlement Agreement were attached to the motion. The 
motion also stated that there are no other agreements, written or oral, 
express or implied, between the parties concerning the subject matter 
of this investigation. On June 7, 2012, the Commission investigative 
attorney filed a response supporting the motion.
    On June 11, 2012, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion, finding that no extraordinary circumstances exist that would 
prevent the requested termination of the investigation in its entirety 
and that the motion fully complies with Commission Rule 210.21. The ID 
also found that termination of the investigation based on the 
settlement does not impose any undue burden on the public health and 
welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy or U.S. consumers. 
No petitions for review were received.The Commission has determined not 
to review the ID.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and Part 210 of the 
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 210).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 2, 2012.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
