SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 24, 2020, the Commission 
instituted this investigation based on a complaint filed by Versa 
Products Inc. of Los Angeles, California (``complainant''). 84 FR 52150 
(Aug. 24, 2020). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, due 
to the importation into the United States, sale for importation, or 
sale in the United States after importation of certain height-
adjustable desk platforms and components thereof by reason of 
infringement of U.S. Patent No. 10,485,336. The complaint also alleges 
the existence of a domestic industry.
    The notice of investigation names seven (7) respondents, including 
Varidesk LLC of Coppell, Texas, CKNAPP Sales, Inc. of Goodfield, 
Illinois, Loctek, Inc. of Livermore, California, Locktek Ergonomic 
Technology Corporation and Zhejiang Loctek Smart Drive Technology Co., 
Ltd. both of Zhejiang, China, Amazon Import Inc. (``Amazon'') of El 
Monte, California, and Stand Steady Company, LLC of Birmingham, 
Alabama. Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (``OUII'') is 
also a party in this investigation. Id.
    On October 22, 2020, Complainant filed a motion to terminate the 
investigation in its entirety based on withdrawal of the complaint. 
OUII and the respondents, with the exception of Amazon, filed responses 
indicating that they do not oppose the motion.
    On November 3, 2020, the ALJ issued Order No. 7 granting the 
motion. The ID found that the complainant represented that ``there are 
no agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between the parties 
concerning the subject matter of this Investigation.'' The ID also 
found that there are no extraordinary circumstances that warrant 
denying the motion. No party petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review Order No. 7. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on November 
18, 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: November 18, 2020.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
