SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 11, 2022, based on a complaint, as supplemented, filed by 
Honeywell International Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina and Hand Held 
Products, Inc. of Charlotte, North Carolina (collectively, 
``Honeywell''). 87 FR 38423-24 (June 28, 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, scan engines, mobile computers 
with barcode scanning functionalities, products containing the same, 
and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent Nos. 11,323,949; 11,323,650; 7,852,519; and 9,258,188. Id. 
The complaint further alleges that a domestic industry exists. Id.
    The Commission's notice of investigation named the following 
respondents: Zebra Technologies Corp. of Lincolnshire, Illinois and 
Symbol Technologies, LLC of Holtsville, New York (collectively, 
``Zebra''). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not 
participating as a party in this investigation.
    On July 11, 2022, Honeywell and Zebra jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation based on a settlement agreement.
    On July 12, 2022, the presiding ALJ issued the subject ID (Order 
No. 3) granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation. The ID 
finds that, pursuant to Commission Rules 210.21(a), (b) (19 CFR 
210.21(a), (b)), Honeywell and Zebra 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 11, 
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 11, 2022.
Katherine Hiner,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
