SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, 
on July 11, 2011, based on two complaints filed by OSRAM GmbH of 
Munich, Germany (``OSRAM''), alleging, inter alia, a violation of 
section 337 in the importation, sale for importation, and sale within 
the United States after importation of certain light-emitting diodes 
and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,849,881 (``the `881 patent''); 6,975,011 
(``the `011 patent''); 7,106,090 (``the `090 patent''); 7,151,283 
(``the `283 patent''); and 7,271,425 (``the `425 patent''). 76 FR 40746 
(Jul. 11, 2011). Subsequently, the `881, the `090, and the `011, as 
well as certain claims of the `283 and `425 patents, were terminated 
from the investigation. The respondents are LG Electronics and LG 
Innotek Co., Ltd., both of Seoul, Republic of Korea; LG Electronics 
U.S.A., Inc. of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; and LG Innotek U.S.A., 
Inc. of San Diego, California (collectively, ``LG''). Id. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations was not named as a party to the 
investigation.
    The evidentiary hearing in this investigation was held from April 
26 through May 2, 2012. On July 9, 2012, the ALJ issued the final 
initial determination (``ID'') finding a violation of section 337. The 
ALJ issued his recommended determination on remedy and bonding on July 
23, 2012. Respondent LG filed a timely petition for review of various 
portions of the final ID, and complainant OSRAM filed a timely response 
to the petition.
    On November 4, 2012, both parties to the investigation filed a 
``Joint Motion To Terminate the Investigation and Extend the Target 
Date, If Necessary.'' On November 7, 2012, the Commission extended the 
target date in this investigation by two months, to January 9, 2013.
    Having examined the joint motion, the settlement agreement, and the 
record of this investigation, the Commission has determined to grant 
the joint motion to terminate the investigation. The Commission finds, 
pursuant to Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that this termination will 
not prejudice the public interest.
    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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 
19 CFR 210.42.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: December 14, 2012.
