Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 27, 2000 / Notices 58105

Act of 1930 by importing into the

United States, selling for importation,

and/or selling within the United States

after importation certain safety eyewear

and components thereof by reason of (a)

infringement of claims 1–5, 8–14, and

16–18 of U.S. Letters Patent 5,457,505

(the ‘505 patent); (b) the claim of U.S.

Letters Patent Des. 322,616; and (c)

misappropriation of trade dress, the

threat or effect of which is to destroy or

substantially injure an industry in the

United States.

On July 27, 2000, complainants

moved for summary determination on

the economic prong of the domestic

industry requirements of section 337 as

to the ’505 patent. On August 4, 2000,

complainants moved to amend the

complaint and notice of investigation to

reflect the U.S. Patent and Trademark

Office’s issuance of U.S. Letters Patent

Re. 36,762 as a reissue of the ‘505

patent. Both respondent Crews and the

Commission investigative attorney

(‘‘IA’’) responded to the motion of

summary determination motion on

August 7, 2000. The IA filed a response

to the motion to amend on August 14,

2000, and Crews filed its response to the

motion to amend on August 16, 2000.

On May 18, 2000, the presiding ALJ

issued an ID (Order No. 21) granting

complainants’ motions. No party

petitioned for review of the ID.

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). Copies of the ALJ’s ID and all

other nonconfidential documents filed
