and Samsung Electronics America, Inc. of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 
(collectively, ``Complainants''). 85 FR 9370-71 (Feb. 12, 2021). The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the 
importation, sale for importation, and sale in the United States after 
importation of certain wireless communications equipment and components 
thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
9,041,074; U.S. Patent No. 9,521,616; U.S. Patent No. 9,736,772; and 
U.S. Patent No. 10,797,405. Id. at 9371. The complaint further alleged

investigation named Ericsson AB of Stockholm, Sweden, and 
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson of Stockholm, Sweden, and Ericsson

    On May 14, 2021, the parties filed a joint motion to terminate the 
investigation based on settlement. The parties represent that ``there 
are no other agreements, written or oral, expressed or implied between 
Samsung and Ericsson concerning the subject matter of the 
investigation.'' See ID at 2.
    On June 10, 2021, the presiding administrative law judge issued 
Order No. 9, granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation. 
The ID finds that the motion complies with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21(19 CFR 210.21) and there will not be a negative 
impact on the public interest. No party filed a petition for review of 
the ID.

investigation is terminated.
