SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on April 15, 2013, based on a complaint filed by STMicroelectronics, 
Inc., of Coppell, Texas (``STMicro''). 78 FR 22293 (April 15, 2013). 
The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (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 microelectromechanical systems (``MEMs 
Devices'') and products containing the same by reason of infringement 
of five U.S. patents. The notice of investigation names InvenSense, 
Inc., of Sunnyvale, California (``InvenSense''); Roku, Inc, of 
Saratoga, California (``Roku''); and Black & Decker, Inc., of New 
Britain, Connecticut (``Black & Decker''), as respondents.
    On February 28, 2014, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 65) granting 
a joint motion by STMicro, InvenSense, and Black & Decker to terminate 
the investigation in its entirety. The motion is based on a settlement 
agreement and a patent cross-license agreement between STMicro and 
InvenSense. The ALJ found that there are no other agreements between 
the parties concerning the subject of the investigation and that the 
parties had complied with the Commission's rules for termination based 
on a settlement agreement. The ALJ also stated that terminating the 
investigation by settlement would not be contrary to the public 
interest and will conserve public and private resources. Accordingly, 
the ALJ determined that the investigation should be terminated in its 
entirety. 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: March 19, 2014.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
