# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On May 8, 2008, the Commission instituted this investigation based on the complaint, as supplemented, of Jaccard Corporation of Orchard Park, New York (“Jaccard”), alleging violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain hand-held meat tenderizers by reason of infringement of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 1,172,879 and also by reason of infringement of trade dress. 73 FR 27846 (May 14, 2008). The respondents are Keystone Manufacturing, Inc. of Buffalo, New York and Mr. Bar-B-Q-, Inc. of Old Bethpage, New York. 73 FR 41117 (July 17, 2008). 

On August 26, 2008, Jaccard moved to withdraw its complaint and terminate the investigation as to all respondents “without prejudice.” Respondents objected on the ground that the termination should be “with prejudice.” The investigative attorney argued that the investigation should be terminated based on the withdrawal of the complaint without styling the termination as either with or without prejudice. The ALJ agreed and therefore granted the termination without stating that it is “with prejudice” or “without prejudice.” No petitions for review of this ID were filed. The Commission has determined not to review this 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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42). 

Issued: September 24, 2008.

By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.
