ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined to review and vacate an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 11) of the presiding administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) in the above-captioned investigation denying a motion to terminate the investigation as to United States Patent Nos. 4,980,463, 5,470,969, and 5,034,551.

Hearing-impaired 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 May 10, 2007, based upon a complaint filed on behalf of Tate & Lyle Technology Ltd. of London, United Kingdom, and Tate & Lyle Sucralose, Inc. of Decatur, Illinois (collectively, ‘‘Tate & Lyle’’). The complaint alleged a PO 00000 Frm 00078 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 55249 violation of section 337(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of sucralose, sweeteners containing sucralose, and related intermediate compounds thereof by reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 4,980,463 (‘‘the ’463 patent’’), 5,470,969 (‘‘the ’969 patent’’), 5,034,551 (‘‘the ’551 patent’’), 5,498,709, and 7,049,435. The notice of investigation named twenty-five respondents. On June 12, 2007, respondents Changzhou Niutang Chemical Plant Co., Ltd.; U.S. Niutang Chemical, Inc.; Garuda International Inc.; Guangdong Food Industry Institute; and L&P Food Ingredient Co., Ltd. (collectively, ‘‘Changzhou’’) filed a motion to terminate the investigation with respect to the ’463 patent, the ’969 patent, and the ’551 patent. Several other respondents joined Changzhou’s motion to terminate. Tate & Lyle opposed the motion. The Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) supported the motion with respect to the ’551 patent, but not with respect to the ’463 patent or the ’969 patent. On August 8, 2007, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 11), denying Changzhou’s motion to terminate the investigation with regard to the ’463 patent, the ’969 patent, and the ’551 patent. The ALJ issued his order in the form of an ID under 19 CFR 210.42, pursuant to the notice of investigation. The complainants, certain respondents, and the Commission investigative attorney filed petitions for review of Order No. 11. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s ID and the submissions of the parties, the Commission has determined to review and vacate the ALJ’s ID. The issues raised by Changzhou’s motion, including whether the importation of the finished product alone (sucralose) constitutes a violation of section 337 based on the ’463, ’969, and ’551 patents, and the ID, including whether trace amounts of an intermediate product or catalyst in the imported product can constitute a violation of section 337, may be addressed in the final initial determination (or earlier, if appropriate). In addressing these issues, the parties and the ALJ should consider the following: 1. The amount of any subject product which has been or is currently being imported. 2. Whether there is a difference in effective scope between 35 U.S.C. 271(g) E:\FR\FM\28SEN1.SGM 28SEN1
