on December 27, 2019, based on a complaint filed by Viavi Solutions 
Inc. of San Jose, California (``Viavi''). 84 FR 71464 (Dec. 27, 2019). 
The complaint, as supplemented, 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 electronic devices with 
optical filters and optical sensor systems and components thereof by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,588,269; 
9,945,995; and 10,222,526. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation 
named as respondents Optrontec Inc. of Changwon, Republic of Korea 
(``Optrontec''); and LG Electronics, Inc. of Seoul, Republic of Korea; 
LG Innotek Co., Ltd. of Seoul, Republic of Korea; and LG Electronics 
U.S.A., Inc. of Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey (collectively, ``LG''). 
Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') is 
participating in this investigation. Id.
    The Commission previously terminated the investigation with respect 
to LG based on settlement. Order No. 9 (Feb. 27, 2020), not reviewed 
Notice (Mar. 18, 2020). Optrontec was thus the sole remaining 
respondent in the investigation.
    On June 19, 2020, Viavi and Optronic jointly moved to terminate the 
investigation based on settlement. On June 25, 2020, OUII filed a 
response in support of the motion.
    On July 13, 2020, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion and terminating the investigation based on settlement. No 
petitions for review of the ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on July 31, 
2020.
    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: July 31, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
