(``ALJ''). The ID grants an unopposed motion for termination of the 
investigation based on the withdrawal of the complaint. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 4, 2020, the Commission 
instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337''), based on a 
complaint filed by Cosemi Technologies, Inc. of Irvine, California 
(``Complainant''). See 85 FR 78361-62 (Dec. 4, 2020). The complaint, as 
supplemented, alleges a violation of section 337 based upon the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain active 
optical cables and products containing the same by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,948,197; 
9,641,250; 9,971,115; 9,979,479. See id. The notice of investigation 
names the following respondents: EverPro Technologies Company Ltd. of 
Wuhan, China; Fibbr Technologies of Wuhan, China; Logitech Inc. of 
Newark, California; and Facebook Technologies, LLC of Menlo Park, 
California (collectively, ``Respondents''). See id. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations is not a party to the investigation. See 
id.
    On August 2, 2021, Complainant filed an unopposed motion for 
termination of the investigation based on the withdrawal of the 
complaint. On August 3, 2021, Respondents filed a response stating that 
they do not oppose Complainant's motion.
    On August 6, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 11) 
granting the

motion. In accordance with Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1), 19 CFR 
210.21(a)(1), the ID notes that Complainant represents that ``there are 
no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied, between the[ 
] parties concerning the subject matter of this Investigation.'' See ID 
at 3. In addition, the ID finds ``no extraordinary circumstances that 
warrant denying the motion.'' See id. Thus, the ID terminates the 
investigation in its entirety and stays the procedural schedule pending 
Commission review.
    No petition for review of the subject ID was filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission's vote for this determination took place on August 
18, 2021.
    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: August 18, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
