public interest. No petitions for review

Anjali K. Hansen, Esq., Office of the

General Counsel, U.S. International

Trade Commission, telephone 202–205–

3117.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission instituted this investigation

on November 22, 1996, based on a

complaint filed by The Procter &

Gamble Company (P&G) concerning

allegations of unfair acts in violation of

section 337 in the importation and sale

of certain toothbrushes covered by U.S.

Letters Patent Des. 328,392 (‘392

patent). The complaint, as amended,

also alleged copyright infringement by

certain respondents, but those

allegations were subsequently

withdrawn from the investigation.

On March 27, 1997, P&G and

respondent Lollipop moved jointly to

terminate the investigation as to

Lollipop on the basis of a consent order.

The Commission investigative attorney

(IA) supported Lollipop’s motion after

certain amendments were made at the

IA’s suggestion to the proposed consent

order and consent order stipulation. On

July 2, 1997, the presiding ALJ issued an

ID granting complainant’s motion, as

amended (Order No. 7). On May 6, 1997,

respondent MAS filed a motion to

terminate the investigation with respect

to MAS on the basis of a consent order.

Complainant P&G did not oppose the

motion. The IA filed a response in

support of the motion. On July 2, 1997,

the ALJ issued an ID granting the

motion (Order No. 6).

On April 8, 1997, P&G and

respondents Shumei and Shummi filed

a joint motion for entry of a limited

exclusion order against Shumei and

Shummi. On April 18, 1997, the IA filed

a response in support of complainant’s

motion. On July 2, 1997, the ALJ issued

an ID granting the joint motion (Order

No. 8), which he deemed to be a motion

for summary determination of violation

of section 337 by Shumei and Shummi.

On July 2, 1997, the ALJ also issued a

recommended determination on remedy

and bonding. The ALJ recommended

that the Commission issue a limited

exclusion order prohibiting the

importation of infringing toothbrushes

made by Shumei or Shummi, and that

the Commission set a bond in the

amount of 100 percent of the entered

value of the infringing articles during

the Presidential review period.

No petitions for review of any of the

IDs were received.

The Commission will decide the

issues of remedy, the public interest,

and bonding in this investigation at a

later date when the status of the sole

remaining respondent, Giftline

International Corporation, has been

resolved.

This action is taken under the

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act

of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337),

and section 210.42 of the Commission’s

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19

C.F.R. 210.42).

Copies of the nonconfidential

versions of the IDs and all other

nonconfidential documents filed in

connection with this investigation are or

will be available for inspection during

official business hours (8:45 a.m. to 5:15

p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
