Massachusetts. See 81 FR 3473 (Jan. 21, 2016). The complaint, as 
supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United 
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain laser-driven light sources, subsystems 
containing laser-driven light sources, and products containing same by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,969,841; 
9,048,000; and 9,185,786. The respondents named in the Commission's 
notice of investigation are ASML Netherlands B.V. of Veldhoven, the 
Netherlands; ASML US, Inc. of Chandler, Arizona; and Qioptiq Photonics 
GmbH & Co. KG, of Gottingen, Germany. The Office of Unfair Import 
Investigations is not participating in the investigation.
    On May 11, 2016, complainant and respondents filed a joint motion 
to terminate this investigation in its entirety based on a settlement 
agreement.
    On May 31, 2016, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 12), granting the 
motion for termination. The ALJ found that the joint motion complies 
with the Commission Rules and that termination of the investigation 
will not adversely affect the public interest. No party petitioned for 
review of the subject ID. The Commission has determined not to review 
the ID.
    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).
