AGENCY: International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 12) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') granting complainants' unopposed motion to terminate the 
investigation in its entirety based on a settlement agreement. The 
investigation is terminated.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 21, 2021, the Commission instituted 
this investigation based on a complaint filed by InMode Ltd. of 
Yokneam, Israel and Invasix Inc. d/b/a InMode of Lake Forest, 
California (collectively, ``InMode''). 86 FR 20712-13 (Apr. 21, 2021). 
The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of 
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based on the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain skin 
rejuvenation resurfacing devices, components thereof, and products 
containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent No. 10,799,285. Id. The complaint further alleges that a 
domestic industry exists. Id. The notice of investigation (``NOI'') 
named ILOODA Co., Ltd. (``ILOODA'') of Suwon, Republic of Korea and 
Cutera, Inc. (``Cutera'') of Brisbane, California (collectively, 
``Respondents'') as respondents. Id. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is not participating in the investigation. Id.
    On September 22, 2021, the Commission determined to review an ID 
(Order No. 8) of the ALJ granting InMode's motion to amend the 
complaint and NOI in the above-captioned investigation to add a claim 
asserting a violation of 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(1)(A) against Cutera. On 
review, the Commission determined to vacate the ID and to remand the 
issue to the ALJ for further proceedings. On remand, the ALJ denied 
InMode's motion on September 23, 2021.
    On November 22, 2021, InMode filed an unopposed motion to terminate 
the investigation as to Respondents based on a settlement agreement 
between InMode and Respondents.
    On December 2, 2021, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 12) 
granting InMode's unopposed motion to terminate the investigation as to 
Respondents based on settlement. The ID finds that the motion satisfies 
the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)) and 
that terminating the investigation as to Respondents is not contrary to 
the public interest. No party petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on December 
20, 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: December 20, 2021.
Lisa Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
