SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on January 13, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Knowles Electronics LLC of Itasca, Illinois (“Knowles”). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,439,616 and 8,018,049, 77 FR 2087 (Jan. 13, 2012). The respondents are Analog Devices Inc. of Norwood, Massachusetts (“ADI”); Amkor Technology, Inc. of Chandler, Arizona; and Avnet, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona (collectively, “Respondents”). *Id.* Subsequently, some of the claims in both of the asserted patents were terminated from the investigation. On March 12, 2013, complainant Knowles and Respondents filed a joint motion to terminate this investigation based on a settlement agreement between Knowles and ADI. On the same day, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 21) granting the motion. The ALJ found that termination of the investigation based on settlement did not impose any undue burdens on the public health and welfare, competitive conditions in the United States economy or United States consumers. No party petitioned for review of the ID, and the Commission has determined not to review it. The investigation has been terminated. 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 sections 210.42-.46 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42-.46). Issued: April 8, 2013. By order of the Commission. Lisa R. Barton, Acting Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2013-08566 Filed 4-11-13; 8:45 am]
