SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 31, 2018, the Commission instituted 
this investigation based on a complaint (and amendment and supplement 
thereto) filed by Ultravision. 83 FR 25044 (May 31, 2018). The amended 
and supplemented complaint alleged a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1337, as 
amended (``Section 337''), in the importation into the United States, 
sale for importation, or sale within the United States after 
importation of certain modular LED display panels and components 
thereof that infringe the asserted claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,349,306 
(``the '306 patent'') and 9,916,782 (``the '782 patent''). The 
Commission's notice of investigation named forty (40) parties as 
respondents, including but not limited to Shanghai Sansi Electronic 
Engineering Co., Ltd. and Sansi North America, LLC (collectively 
``Sansi''), the subjects of the present ID. Id.; Order No. 29 at 2. The 
Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') was also named as a 
party to the investigation.
    The Commission determined not to review previous IDs that partially 
terminated the investigation with respect to certain patent claims or 
certain parties. See, e.g., Comm'n Notice (Nov. 19, 2018); Comm'n 
Notice (Oct. 2, 2018); Comm'n Notice (Sept. 28, 2018); Comm'n Notice 
(July 24, 2018). The Commission also determined not to review previous 
IDs that found certain respondents in default. See, e.g., Comm'n Notice 
(Sept. 26, 2018); Comm'n Notice (Sept. 18, 2018); Comm'n Notice (Sept. 
17, 2018).
    On November 27, 2018, Ultravision moved to terminate the 
investigation in its entirety based on its withdrawal of the amended 
complaint, the operative complaint in this investigation. Order No. 29 
at 1. Consistent with Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1), Ultravision stated 
in its motion that it had entered into a confidential term sheet 
agreement with Sansi. Id. at 2.
    On November 30, 2018, OUII filed a response supporting the motion. 
See id. at 1. No other party filed a response to the motion.
    On January 31, 2019, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion and finding no ``extraordinary circumstances that warrant 
denying the motion'' under Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1), 19 CFR 
210.21(a).
    No party filed a petition seeking review of the subject ID.
    Upon review of the entire record, including the ALJ's ID, the 
Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is hereby terminated 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: February 21, 2019.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
