as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based upon the importation into the 
United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United 
States after importation of certain tunable lenses and products 
containing the same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent No. 8,064,142; U.S. Patent No. 8,605,361; U.S. Patent No. 
8,665,527; and U.S. Patent No. 9,442,225. The complaint, as amended, 
further alleged that a domestic industry exists. The notice of 
investigation named as respondents Optotune AG of Dietikon, 
Switzerland, and Edmund Optics, Inc. of Barrington, New Jersey. Id.
    On March 7, 2022, the private parties filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation based on settlement. On March 10, 2022, the 
presiding ALJ issued Order No. 13, granting the joint motion. The ALJ 
determined that the motion complied with Commission Rule, 210.21(b), 19 
CFR 210.21(b). The ALJ also determined that there is no evidence that 
termination of this investigation would adversely affect the public 
interest. No one petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The 
investigation is terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on April 1, 
2022.
    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: April 1, 2022.
