On November 3, 2014, ALJ David P. Shaw issued Order No. 16 in Certain Toner Cartridges and Components Thereof (Inv. No. 337-TA-918).By way of background, this investigation is based on a May 7, 2014 complaint filed by Canon Inc.; Canon U.S.A., Inc.; and Canon Virginia, Inc. (collectively, "Canon") alleging violation of Section 337 in the importation into the U.S. and sale of certain toner cartridges and components thereof, namely photosensitive drum units, that infringe one or more claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,280,278; 8,630,564; 8,682,215; 8,676,090; 8,369,744; 8,565,640; 8,676,085; 8,135,304; and 8,688,008.

According to Order No. 16, ALJ Shaw granted a joint motion filed by Canon and Respondent LD Products, Inc. ("LD") to terminate the investigation as to LD based upon a consent order stipulation and proposed consent order.
