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

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.
