SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 4, 2021, the Commission

Honeywell International Inc., Hand Held Products, Inc., and Metrologic 
Instruments, Inc. (collectively, ``Complainants''), all of Charlotte, 
North Carolina. 86 FR 60915 (Nov. 4, 2021). The complaint alleges 
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 bar code scanners, mobile computers with bar 
code scanning capabilities, scan engines, and components thereof that 
infringe one of more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,794,520 (``the '520 
patent''); 7,568,628 (``the '628 patent''); 7,770,799 (``the '799 
patent''); 9,576,169 (``the '169 patent''); and 10,721,429 (``the '429 
patent''). Id. The complaint also alleges that a domestic industry 
exists or is in the process of being established. Id. The Commission's 
notice of investigation named Zebra Technologies Corporation of 
Lincolnshire, Illinois and Symbol Technologies, Inc. of Holtsville, New 
York (collectively, ``Respondents'') as respondents. Id. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations is participating in this investigation. 
Id.
    The Commission previously terminated the investigation as to the 
'520 patent and certain claims of the '628, '799, '169, and '429 
patents. Order No. 13 (Apr. 7, 2022), unreviewed by Notice (Apr. 25, 
2022); Order No. 19 (May 27, 2022), unreviewed by Notice (June 13, 
2022).
    On July 11, 2022, Complainants and Respondents filed a joint motion 
to terminate the investigation based on a license and settlement 
agreement between the parties. No opposition to the motion was filed.
    On July 12, 2022, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 23), 
granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation based on 
settlement. The ID finds that the motion for termination satisfies 
Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b), and that no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that would prevent the requested termination. No 
petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The 
investigation is terminated in its entirety.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 4, 
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: August 4, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
