SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
900 on November 15, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Furuno Electric 
Co., Ltd. of Hyogo, Japan and Furuno U.S.A., Inc. of Camas, Washington 
(``Furuno''). 78 FR 68861-62 (Nov. 15, 2013). The complaint alleged 
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 navigation products, including GPS devices, navigation and 
display systems, radar systems, navigational aids, mapping systems and 
related software by reason of infringement of various claims of United 
States Patent Nos. 6,084,565; 7,161,561; 6,424,292; and 7,768,447. The 
notice of investigation named the following respondents: Garmin Ltd. of 
Schaffhausen, Switzerland; Garmin International, Inc.; Garmin North 
America, Inc.; Garmin USA, Inc. all of Olathe, Kansas (collectively, 
``Garmin''); Navico Holding AS of Egersund, Norway; Navico UK Limited 
of Romsey Hampshire, United Kingdom; Navico Inc. of Tulsa, Oklahoma 
(collectively, ``Navico''); and Raymarine. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is a party to the investigation.
    On April 8, 2014, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No 14), terminating 
the

investigation as to Navico based upon settlement. On June 30, 2014, the 
ALJ issued an ID (Order No 23), terminating the investigation as to 
Garmin based upon settlement. The Commission determined not to review 
those IDs.
    On August 13, 2014, Furuno and Raymarine filed a joint unopposed 
motion to terminate the investigation as to Raymarine based upon 
settlement. On August 19, 2014, the Commission investigative attorney 
filed a response in support of the motion.
    On August 21, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion to terminate the investigation as to Raymarine. The ALJ found 
that confidential and public copies of the settlement agreement were 
provided in compliance with the requirements of Commission Rule 
210.21(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(b)(1)), and that terminating the 
investigation would not be contrary to the public interest.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID. This terminates 
the investigation in its entirety.
    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: September 22, 2014.

Secretary to the Commission.
