instituted this investigation based on a complaint, as amended, filed 
on behalf of OPEX Corporation of Moorestown, New Jersey (``OPEX''). 87 
FR 63089 (Oct. 18, 2022). The complaint alleged 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 
automated put walls and automated storage and retrieval systems, 
associated vehicles, associated control software, and components parts 
thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 
11,192,144 and 11,358,175. Id. The Commission's notice of investigation 
names as respondents HC Robotics (a.k.a. Huicang Information Technology 
Co., Ltd.) of Hangzhou City, China; and Invata, LLC (d/b/a Invata 
Intralogistics) of Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Id. The Office of Unfair 
Import Investigations is not participating in this investigation. Id.
    On March 20, 2023, OPEX filed an unopposed motion to terminate the 
investigation based on its withdrawal of the complaint. On March 27, 
2023, the CALJ denied the motion based on excessive redaction in the 
motion's attached agreement. See Order No. 6 (Mar. 27, 2023). On March 
28, 2023, OPEX filed a renewed unopposed motion to terminate the 
investigation based on a withdrawal of the complaint and containing 
fewer redactions.
    On March 29, 2023, the CALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7) 
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)), 
granting the motion and terminating the investigation. The ID finds 
that the motion complies with Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) and that 
there are no extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the 
requested relief. No party petitioned for review of the subject ID.
    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 April 26, 
2023.
    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: April 26, 2023.
