The complaint alleged a violation 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 barcode scanners, mobile computers with barcode scanning capabilities, scan engines, components thereof, and products containing the same by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,478,753, 7,905,414, 9,800,749, and 10,732,380. Id. The complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists as required by section 337. Id.

On July 11, 2022, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)), Complainants and Respondents filed a joint motion to terminate this investigation in its entirety based on a settlement agreement.

The ID found that the motion complied with the Commission's Rules and that terminating the investigation would not be contrary to the public interest. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
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 August 5, 2022.
