SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 19, 2016, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Rockwell 
Automation, Inc. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 81 FR 64196-97. The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of 
infringement of the following U.S. Patent Nos.: 6,675,226; 6,816,817; 
6,819,960; 6,978,225; 7,130,704; 7,650,196; 7,693,585; and 8,799,800. 
The complaint further alleged that a domestic industry exists. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named 3S-Smart Software Solutions, 
GmbH of Kempten, Germany; Advantech Corporation of Milpitas, 
California; and Advantech Co., Ltd. of Taipei City, Taiwan as 
respondents. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') is 
also a party to the investigation.
    On November 15, 2016, the complainant and all respondents jointly 
moved to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement. 
OUII supported the motion.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on December 15, 2016, granting the 
motion for termination of the investigation. She found that the motion 
for termination satisfied Commission Rules 210.21(a)(1), (b)(1) and 
that termination of the investigation is not contrary to the public 
interest. She also issued a corrected ID on December 19, 2016, to 
attach a copy of the settlement agreement. No petitions for review were 
filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID and has 
terminated the investigation.
    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: January 10, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
