[Investigation Nos.701–TA–451; 731–TA– 

1126–1127 (Final)] 

In the Matter of: Lightweight Thermal 

Paper From China and Germany Notice 

of Commission Determination To 

Conduct a Portion of the Hearing In 

Camera 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Closure of a portion of a 

Commission hearing. 

SUMMARY: Upon request of Papierfabrik 

August Koehler AG, Koehler America, 

Inc., Mitsubishi HiTec Paper Flensburg 

GmbH, Mitsubishi HiTec Paper 

Bielefeld GmbH, and Mitsubishi 

International Corp. (‘‘German 

Respondents’’), the Commission has 

determined to conduct a portion of its 

hearing in the above-captioned 

investigations scheduled for October 2, 

2008, in camera. See Commission rules 

207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 201.36(b)(4) 

(19 CFR 207.24(d), 201.13(m) and 

201.36(b)(4)). The remainder of the 

hearing will be open to the public. The 

Commission has determined that the

to a meeting was not possible. See 

Commission rule 201.35(a), (c)(1) (19 

CFR 201.35(a), (c)(1)).

Hearing-impaired individuals are 

advised that information on this matter 

may be obtained by contacting the 

Commission’s TDD terminal on 202– 

205–3105. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission believes that German 

Respondents have justified the need for 

a closed session to discuss pricing data, 

trade and financial data pertaining to 

the domestic industry, and business 

plans of domestic producers that 

contain business proprietary 

information (BPI). In making this 

decision, the Commission nevertheless 

reaffirms its belief that whenever 

possible its business should be 

conducted in public. 

The hearing will include the usual 

public presentations by parties 

supporting imposition of duties and 

respondents, with questions from the 

Commission. In addition, the hearing 

will include a ten-minute in camera 

session for a confidential presentation 

by German Respondents. This session 

will be followed by questions from the 

Commission relating to the BPI and a 

ten-minute in camera rebuttal 

presentation by parties supporting 

imposition of duties, if needed. 

Following the in camera session, the 

Commission will reopen the hearing to 

the public for the public rebuttal/closing 

statements. During the in camera 

session the room will be cleared of all 

persons except those who have been 

granted access to BPI under a 

Commission administrative protective 

order (APO) and are included on the 

Commission’s APO service list in this 

investigation. See 19 CFR 201.35(b). The 

time for the parties’ presentations and 

rebuttals in the in camera session will 

be taken from their respective overall 

time allotments for the hearing. All 

persons planning to attend the in 

camera portions of the hearing should 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

Authority: The General Counsel has 

certified, pursuant to Commission Rule 

201.39 (19 CFR 201.39) that a portion of the 

Commission’s hearing in Lightweight 

Thermal Paper from China and Germany, 

Inv. Nos. 701–TA–451, 731–TA–1126–27 

(Final), may be closed to the public to 

prevent the disclosure of BPI.

on June 16, 2006, based on a complaint 

filed on May 15, 2006, by Telcordia 

Technologies, Inc. (‘‘Telcordia’’) of 

Piscataway, New Jersey. An amended 

complaint was filed on June 5, 2006. 

The complaint as amended alleges 

violations of section 337 in the 

importation into the United States, the 

sale for importation, and the sale within 

the United States after importation of 

certain equipment for 

telecommunications or data 

communications networks, including 

routers, switches, hubs, and 

components thereof, by reason of 

infringement of claims 1, 3, and 4 of 

U.S. Patent No. 4,893,306 (‘‘the ‘306 

patent’’); claims 1, 3, 5, 8, 11, and 33 of 

U.S. Patent No. Re. 36,633 (‘‘the ‘633 

patent’’); and claims 1, 2, 7, and 8 of 

U.S. Patent No. 4,835,763 (‘‘the ‘763

named five respondents: Cisco Systems,

Lucent Technologies, Inc. (‘‘Lucent’’) of 

Murray Hill, New Jersey; Alcatel S.A. of 

France and Alcatel USA, Inc. of Plano, 

Texas (collectively ‘‘Alcatel’’); and 

PMC-Sierra, Inc. (‘‘PMC-Sierra’’) of 

Santa Clara, California. The complaint 

further alleged that an industry in the 

United States exists as required by 

subsection (a)(2) of section 337. 

On August 23, 2006, the Commission

review an ID terminating the 

investigation as to the ‘306 patent and 

certain claims of the ‘633 patent. On

an ID terminating the investigation as to 

respondent PMC-Sierra. On September 

17, 2008, the Commission issued notice 

of its determination not to review an ID 

granting Telecordia’s motion for 

summary determination that respondent 

Cisco is precluded from litigating 

certain issues in view of a previous 

judgment in a case involving the same 

issues and the same parties in the U.S. 

District Court for the District of 

Delaware. 

On August 29, 2008, Telecordia and 

Cisco filed a joint motion for 

termination of the investigation, based 

on a settlement agreement. The ALJ 

issued the subject ID on September 8, 

2008, granting the joint motion. No 

petitions for review of the ID were filed.
