Reg.* 22898 (April 17, 2013). The complaint alleged violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. § 1337, by reason of infringement of one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,278,351 and 8,383,675.

The Olympic Respondents were terminated from the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement on November 5, 2013 (Order No. 31, affirmed by the Commission on December 17, 2013). The Aker Respondents were terminated from the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement on December 17, 2013 (Order No. 40, not reviewed by the Commission on January 15, 2014).

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).
