The Commission instituted this investigation on August 28, 2009, based on a complaint filed by Hexagon Metrology AB of Stockholm, Sweden, and Hexagon Metrology, Inc. of North Kingstown, Rhode Island alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation, sale for importation, and sale within the United States after importation of certain articulated coordinate measuring arms or components thereof by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,829,148. 74 FR 44384-85 (August 28, 2009). The complainant named Metris N.V. of Leuven, Belgium and Metris U.S.A., Inc. of Brighton, Michigan, and Mitutoyo Corporation of Kanagawa, Japan and Mitutoyo America Corporation of Aurora, Illinois as respondents.
On December 15, 2009, all the private parties to the investigation jointly moved to terminate the investigation without prejudice based on a settlement agreement.

On January 5, 2010, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 10) granting the motion. No party petitioned for review of the ID, and the Commission has determined not to review it.
