Technologies Corporation of Lincolnshire, Illinois, and Symbol 
Technologies, LLC of Holtsville, New York (together, ``Complainants''). 
87 FR 14571 (March 15, 2022). The complaint alleged a violation 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 barcode scanners, mobile computers with barcode scanning 
capabilities, scan engines, components thereof, and products containing 
the same by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent 
Nos. 7,478,753, 7,905,414, 9,800,749, and 10,732,380. Id. The complaint 
further alleged that an industry in the United States exists as 
required by section 337. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation 
named as respondents Honeywell International Inc. of Charlotte, North 
Carolina, and Hand Held Products, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina 
(together, ``Respondents''). Id. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations was not named as a party in this investigation. Id.
    On July 11, 2022, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 
210.21(b)), Complainants and Respondents filed a joint motion to 
terminate this investigation in its entirety based on a settlement 
agreement. On July 18, 2022, the ALJ issued Order No. 12, the subject 
ID, which granted the motion. The ID found that the motion complied 
with the Commission's Rules and that terminating the investigation 
would not be contrary to the public interest. No petitions for review 
of the ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
    This investigation is hereby terminated in its entirety.
    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.
