[Investigation No. 337-TA-843]


Certain Electronic Devices Having a Retractable USB Connector; 
Termination of an 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 (``ALJ'') initial determination (``ID'') (Order No. 36) 
terminating the investigation as to the last remaining respondent, and 
thereby terminating the investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 24, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Anu IP LLC of Longview, 
Texas (``Anu''), alleging a violation of section 337 by reason of the 
infringement of claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,979,210 and 7,090,515. 77 
FR 31039-40 (Aug. 12, 2011). The notice of investigation named more 
than forty respondents. The investigation has since been terminated as 
to all but one respondent on the basis of withdrawal of the complaint, 
settlement agreement, or consent order.
    On November 14, 2012, Anu moved for termination of the 
investigation as to respondent Option, Inc. (``Option''), formerly of 
Alpharetta, Georgia, on the basis of withdrawal of the complaint. Anu 
stated that Option has been dissolved and is no longer in existence. On 
November 28, 2012, the ALJ granted the motion as an ID. Order No. 36. 
The ALJ found termination to be in the public interest. Id. at 2. 
Because Option is the last remaining respondent, termination as to 
Option terminates the investigation.
    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 sections 210.21 and 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.21 and 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: December 14, 2012.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
