based upon a consent order stipulation; entry of consent order and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 16, 2018, based on a complaint filed by Lumencor, Inc. of 
Beaverton, Oregon (``Lumencor''). 83 FR 11789 (Mar. 16, 2018). 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 light engines and components thereof by reason 
of infringement of one or more of claims 1-6, 10, 11, and 16-19 of U.S. 
Patent No. 9,574,722 (``the '722 patent''); claims 1-3, 5, 7, 9, 11-13, 
15, 17, and 20 of U.S. Patent No. 9,395,055 (``the '055 patent''); and 
claims 1, 4, 6, 7, 9, 16, and 18 of U.S. Patent No. 8,493,564 (``the 
'564 patent''). The notice of investigation named the following 
respondents: Excelitas Technologies Corp. of Waltham, Massachusetts and 
Lumen Dynamics Group, Inc. of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada 
(collectively, ``Respondents''). The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is not a party to the investigation.
    On March 15, 2018, Lumencor and Respondents filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation in its entirety based upon consent order 
stipulation. No responses to the motion were filed. We note that the 
Commission issued its notice to institute this investigation on March 
12, 2018, but the notice did not appear in the Federal Register until 
March 16, 2018.
    On March 20, 2018, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion. On March 26, 2018, the ALJ issued errata correcting a 
typographical error on page 2 of the ID (changing ``Lumencor also 
agrees to'' to ``Respondents also agree to''). The ALJ found that the 
consent order stipulation complies with the requirements of Commission 
Rule 210.21(c)(3) (19 CFR 210.21(c)(3)), and that terminating the 
investigation in its entirety would not be contrary to the public 
interest. None of the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID and to issue 
consent order herewith.
    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: April 6, 2018.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
