States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain marine sonar imaging devices, products 
containing the same, and components thereof, by reason of infringement 
of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,300,499 and 8,305,840. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Raymarine, 
Inc. of Nashua, New Hampshire; Raymarine UK Ltd. of Fareham, United 
Kingdom; and In-Tech Electronics Ltd. of Hong Kong. The notice of 
investigation was later amended to add as respondents Raymarine Belgium

    On March 19, 2014, all parties filed a joint motion to terminate 
the investigation based on a settlement agreement. The parties attached 
a settlement agreement, and indicated that there are no other 
agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between Navico and any 
of the respondents concerning the subject matter of this investigation. 
The parties also stated that the termination of the investigation would 
not harm the public interest, and that it is in the interest of public 
and administrative economy to grant the motion.
    On March 24, 2014, the ALJ granted the parties' motion, and issued 
the subject ID, terminating the investigation based on a settlement 
agreement. The ALJ found that termination was in the public interest, 
and that the motion complied with applicable Commission rules. See, 
e.g., 19 CFR 210.21(a)(2) and (b)(1), 210.50(b)(2). No petitions for 
review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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).
