`Administrative Law Judge (“ALJ”) granting an unopposed motion to partially terminate the
`investigation as to respondents Delta Electronics (USA) Inc., Quanta Cloud Technology Inc., and
`Quanta Cloud Technology USA LLC (collectively, the “Terminated Respondents”) based on the
`withdrawal of the complaint as to those respondents.

`
`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 17, 2023, the Commission instituted this
`investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (“section
`337”), based on a complaint filed by Vicor Corporation (“Complainant”) of Andover,
`Massachusetts. See 88 FR 56050-51 (Aug. 17, 2023). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges
`a violation of section 337 based upon the importation into the United States, the sale for
`importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain power converter
`modules and computing systems containing the same by reason of the infringement of certain
`claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 9,166,481; 9,516,761; and 10,199,950. See id. In addition to the
`Terminated Respondents, the notice of investigation names the following respondents: Delta
`Electronics, Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan; Delta Electronics (Americas) Ltd. of Fremont, California;
`Cyntec Co., Ltd. of Hsinchu, Taiwan; Quanta Computer Inc. of Taoyuan City, Taiwan; Quanta
`
`
`
`Computer USA Inc. of Fremont, California; Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. Ltd. (d/b/a, Foxconn
`Technology Group) of Taipei City, Taiwan; Foxconn Industrial Internet Co. Ltd. of Shenzhen,
`China; FII USA Inc. (a/k/a Foxconn Industrial, Internet USA Inc.) of Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
`Ingrasys Technology Inc. of Taoyuan City, Taiwan; and Ingrasys Technology USA Inc. of
`Fremont, California. See id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is also a party to the
`investigation. See id.
`
`
`On December 21, 2023, Complainant filed an unopposed motion to partially terminate
`the investigation as to the Terminated Respondents based on the withdrawal of the complaint as
`to those respondents. No response to the motion was received.
`
`On December 22, 2023, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 16) granting the
`motion. The ID notes that “the Terminated Respondents are not involved with the importation,
`sale for importation, or sale after importation of the Accused Products in the United States.” See
`ID at 1. Thus, the ID finds good cause for termination of the investigation pursuant to
`Commission Rule 210.21(a)(1) (19 CFR 210.21(a)(1)). See id. In addition, the ID notes that
`“[t]he motion states that there no agreements, written or oral, express or implied between the
`parties concerning the subject matter of the investigation.” See id. at 1-2. Furthermore, the ID
`finds no “extraordinary circumstances” that would preclude granting the motion. See id. at 2.
`
`
`No petition for review of the subject ID was filed.
`
`The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The investigation is
`partially terminated with respect to the Terminated Respondents.
`
`The Commission vote for this determination took place on January 25, 2024.
`
`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).
`
`By order of the Commission.
