SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 11, 2022, based on a complaint, as supplemented, filed by 
Zebra Technologies Corp. of Lincolnshire, Illinois and Symbol 
Technologies, LLC of Holtsville, New York (``Zebra''). 87 FR 14039-040 
(March 11, 2022). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in 
the importation into the United States, sale for importation, or sale 
in the United States after importation of certain barcode scanners, 
mobile computers with barcode scanning capabilities, scan engines, RFID 
printers, components thereof, and products containing the same by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,498,942; 
8,411,177; and 10,667,219. Id. The complaint further alleges that a 
domestic industry exists. Id.
    The Commission's notice of investigation named the following 
respondents: Honeywell International Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina 
and Hand Held Products, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina 
(collectively, ``Respondents''). The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is not participating as a party in this investigation.
    On July 11, 2022, Zebra and Respondents jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation based on a settlement agreement.
    On July 12, 2022, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID (Order 
No. 14) granting the joint motion to terminate. The ID finds that, 
pursuant to Commission Rules 210.21(a), (b) (19 CFR 210.21(a), (b)), 
Zebra and Respondents represent that there are no other agreements, 
express or implied, oral or written, between them regarding the subject 
matter of this investigation. The ID further finds that termination is 
proper because it would not be contrary to the public health and 
welfare, competitive conditions in the U.S. economy, the production of 
like or directly competitive conditions in the United States, or U.S. 
consumers. The ID further finds that termination is in the public 
interest, and it will conserve public and private resources.
    No party filed a petition for review of the subject ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. 
Accordingly, the investigation is hereby terminated.
    The Commission vote for this determination took place on August 5, 
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 8, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
