The complaint alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,891,044 (“the `044 patent”); 7,937,798 (“the `798 patent”); and 8,220,106 by Federal-Mogul Corp. of Southfield, Michigan, Federal-Mogul Vehicle Component Solutions, Inc. of Southfield, Michigan, and Federal-Mogul S.A. of Aubange, Belgium (collectively, “Federal-Mogul”). 79 FR 52041-42 (Sep. 2, 2014). On October 15, 2014, Valeo filed another complaint, against Trico Products Corporation of Rochester Hills, Michigan; Trico Products of Brownsville, Texas; and Trico Componentes SA de CV of Tamaulipas, Mexico (collectively, “Trico,” Respondent, or Respondents), asserting a violation of section 337(a)(1)(B) by reason of infringement of one or more claims of the '044 patent and the '798 patent.

Subsequently, the two investigations were consolidated. Order No. 8, Inv. No. 337-TA-928 (Dec. 9, 2014). The Office of Unfair Import Investigations (“OUII”) is not participating in this investigation. On May 19, 2015, Valeo and Federal-Mogul reached a settlement agreement and filed a joint motion to terminate the Federal-Mogul respondents from the consolidated investigation, which was granted on June 5, 2015. See ALJ Order No. 24, Inv. No. 337-TA-928 (June 5, 2015) (not reviewed June 29, 2015).

On June 10, 2016, the Commission extended the target date for completion of this investigation to June 30, 2016. Having examined the joint motion, the settlement agreement, and the record of this investigation, the Commission has determined to grant the joint motion to terminate the investigation and finds the motion in compliance with Commission rule 210.21(b). The Commission finds, pursuant to Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that this termination will not prejudice the public interest. 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).
