# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Commission instituted this investigation on June 20, 2003, based on a complaint filed by Auto Meter Products, Inc. (“Auto Meter”) of Sycamore, Illinois. 68 FR 37023. The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation and sale of certain automotive measuring devices, products containing same, and bezels for such devices, by reason of infringement of U.S. Registered Trademark Nos. 1,732,643 and 1,497,472, and U.S. Supplemental Register No. 1,903908, and infringement of the complainant's trade dress. Subsequently, seven more firms were added as respondents based on two separate motions filed by complainant Auto Meter. The investigation was terminated as to nine respondents on the basis of consent orders. Six respondents were found to be in default. 

On June 4, 2004, Auto Meter and respondent American Products Co., Inc. (“APC”) filed a joint motion to terminate based on a settlement agreement between Auto Meter and APC and a consent order stipulation with a proposed consent order. 

On September 1, 2004, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 36) terminating the investigation as to respondent APC on the basis of a settlement agreement and consent order. The Commission investigative attorneys filed a response in support of the joint motion. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. 

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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42). 

Issued: September 27, 2004.

By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.
