Office of the Secretary, U.S.

persons are advised that information on
this matter can be obtained by
contacting the Commission’s TDD
terminal on (202) 205–1810.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Commission instituted this investigation
on February 27, 2007, based on a
complaint filed by Cooper Lighting, Inc.
of Peachtree City, Georgia. 72 FR 8790
(February 27, 2007). The complaint, as
supplemented, alleged violations of
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19
U.S.C. 1337 (‘‘section 337’’) in the
importation into the United States, the
PO 00000

sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of
certain lighting products, components
thereof, and products containing the
same by reason of infringement of
claims 23, 26, and 27 of U.S. Patent No.
6,082,878 and claims 1 and 7 of U.S.
Patent No. 5,662,413. The complaint
further alleged that an industry in the
United States exists as required by
subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The
complaint requested that the
Commission issue an exclusion order
and cease and desist orders. The
Commission named two companies as
respondents, Cordelia Lighting, Inc. and
Jimway, Inc. Both companies are located
in Rancho Dominguez, California.
On July 12, 2007, Cooper and the two
respondents filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation based upon
a settlement agreement. The
Commission investigative attorney filed
a response in support of the motion and
no party opposed the motion. On July
25, 2007, the ALJ issued the subject ID
(Order No. 6) that grants the parties’
joint motion and terminates the
investigation on the basis of a settlement
agreement. No petitions for review were
filed and the Commission has
determined not to review the ID. No
respondents remain in the investigation
and the investigation is therefore
terminated in its entirety.
This action is taken under the
authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337,
and Commission rules 210.21, 210.42,
19 CFR 210.21, 210.42.
