SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 16, 2018, based on a complaint filed by Tektronix, Inc. of 
Beaverton, Oregon (``Tektronix''). 83 FR 11790 (Mar. 16, 2018). The 
complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), in the importation into the United States, 
or in the sale for importation, or the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain multi-domain test and measurement 
instruments, by reason of the infringement of certain claims of U.S. 
Patent No. 8,521,460 and U.S. Patent No. 8,675,719. Id. The notice of 
investigation named three respondents: Rohde & Schwartz GmbH & Co. KG 
of Munich, Germany; Rohde & Schwartz Vertriebs GmbH of Munich, Germany; 
and Rohde & Schwartz USA, Inc. of Columbia, Maryland (collectively, 
``R&S''). Id. at 11791.
    On May 30, 2018, R&S moved to terminate the investigation as to 
certain accused products on the basis of a consent order stipulation 
and proposed consent order for each of the three respondents. On July 
13, 2018, the ALJ granted the motion as Order No. 12. On August 10, 
2018, the Commission determined not to review Order No. 12, and the 
Commission issued consent orders as to each of the respondents.
    In view of the consent orders, on August 22, 2018, Tektronix moved 
to terminate the investigation in its entirety based on withdrawal of 
the complaint as to any remaining accused products. R&S did not oppose 
the motion.
    On August 24, 2018, the presiding ALJ granted the motion as the 
subject ID (Order No. 16). The ID finds that the motion complies with 
Commission Rule 210.21(a), 19 CFR 210.21(a), and that no extraordinary 
circumstances exist that would prevent termination of the 
investigation. ID at 2.
    No petitions for review of the ID were filed. The Commission has 
determined not to review the ID. The investigation is thereby 
terminated.
