SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Commission instituted this investigation

on May 26, 2000, based on a complaint

filed by Medrad, Inc. of Indianola,

Pennsylvania. The complaint alleged a

violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act

of 1930, 337 U.S.C. 1337, based on

infringement of U.S. Letters Patent Re.

36,648, (the ‘648 patent) owned by

complainant. The respondents named in

the investigation are Nemoto Kyorindo

Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan; LiebelFlarshiem Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio; and

Mallinckrodt Inc. (New York Corp) and

Mallinckrodt Inc. (Delaware Corp), both

of Hazelwood, Missouri. 65 FR 34231.

On September 26, 2000, the ALJ

issued an ID finding the ‘648 patent

invalid due to certain omissions that

occurred during patent reissue

proceedings at the U.S. Patent and

Trademark Office. The ALJ suspended

the investigation during the pendency of

the ID before the Commission. Petitions

for review of the ID were filed on

October 6, 2000, by complainant and by

the Commission investigative attorney.

Responses were filed on October 19,

2000. On October 16, 2000, the

Commission determined to extend the

date for determining whether to review

the ID until December 6, 2000. 65 FR

63096 (October 20, 2000). On November

17, 2000, complainant Medrad filed a

motion to suspend the investigation

pending the outcome of a petition for

reissue of the ‘648 patent that it had

filed on November 16, 2000, with the

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

Respondents opposed the motion and

the IA supported it. Respondents filed a

motion to file a reply to the IA’s

response on December 4, 2000.

On November 27, 2000, the

Commission extended the date for

determining whether to review the

summary determination ID until 30 days

after it decides the motion to suspend

the investigation. 65 FR 75303

(December 1, 2000). On January 16,

2001, respondent Nemoto filed a motion

to compel the Commission to remand

complainant’s motion for suspension of

the investigation to the presiding ALJ

for determination. On January 18, 2000,

the remaining respondents joined

Nemoto’s motion.

This action is taken under the

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act

of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and section

210. 42(h)(3) of the Commission of

Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR

210.42(h)(3).

of the ID and all other nonconfidential

documents filed in connection with this

investigation are or will be available for

inspection during official business
