SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on November 5, 2015, based on a complaint filed on behalf of Polymer 
Technology Systems, Inc. of Indianapolis, Indiana (``Complainant''). 80 
FR 68563 (Nov. 5, 2015). The complaint alleged violations of Section 
337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the sale 
for importation or sale within the United States after importation of 
certain blood cholesterol test strips and associated systems containing 
same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 
7,087,397. The notice of investigation named Infopia Co., Ltd. of 
Gyeonggi-do, Korea; Infopia America LLC of Titusville, Florida; and 
Jant Pharmacal Corporation of Encino, California as respondents. The 
Office of Unfair Import Investigations was also named as a party but 
later withdrew from the investigation.
    On January 19, 2016, the private parties filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement.
    On January 20, 2016, the ALJ granted the joint motion to terminate. 
The ALJ found the parties included confidential and public versions of 
the settlement agreement and that the parties represented that there 
are no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied concerning 
the subject matter of the investigation. The ALJ also found that 
termination of the investigation is not contrary to the public 
interest. No petitions for review were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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).

    Issued: February 5, 2016.

    By order of the Commission.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
