`
`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation under
`section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. § 1337, on January 13, 2012, based on a complaint
`filed by Knowles Electronics LLC of Itasca, Illinois (“Knowles”). The complaint, as
`supplemented, alleges a violation of section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of
`U.S. Patent Nos. 7,439,616 and 8,018,049, 77 Fed. Reg. 2087 (Jan. 13, 2012). The respondents
`are Analog Devices Inc. of Norwood, Massachusetts (“ADI”); Amkor Technology, Inc. of
`Chandler, Arizona; and Avnet, Inc. of Phoenix, Arizona (collectively, “Respondents).
`Id.
`Subsequently, some of the claims in both of the asserted patents were terminated from the
`investigation.
`
`On March 12, 2013, complainant Knowles and Respondents filed a joint motion to
`terminate this investigation based on a settlement agreement between Knowles and ADI. On the
`same day, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 21) granting the motion. The ALJ found that
`termination of the investigation based on settlement did not impose any undue burdens on the

`Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. § 1337), and in sections 210.42-.46 of the Commission’s
`Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. §§ 210.42-.46).
