The Commission instituted this investigation on July 31, 2012, based on a complaint filed by ObjectVideo, Inc. (“ObjectVideo”) of Reston, Virginia. 77 FR 45376. The complaint 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 video analytics software systems, components thereof, and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of the following U.S. Patent Nos: 6,696,945; 6,970,083; 7,868,912; and 7,932,923. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named PELCO, Inc. (“PELCO”) of Clovis, California as the sole respondent. No Commission investigative attorney is participating in the investigation.

On November 8, 2012, ObjectVideo and PELCO moved to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement.

The ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 7) on November 27, 2012, granting the joint motion for termination of the investigation. He found that the motion satisfies Commission rules 210.21(a)(2) and (b)(1). He further found, pursuant to Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of this investigation is in the public interest. No party petitioned for review of the ID.

The Commission has determined not to review the ID, and has terminated the investigation.
