History, 72 FR 73909 (December 28,
2007).
In Order No. 154, the Commission
authorized 14 nonpostal services to
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
continue.1 Finding the record
insufficient in certain respects, the
Commission deferred ruling on three
issues more fully addressed below,
involving licensing, the warranty repair
program, and sales of music compact
discs. This order establishes procedures
to develop a more complete record on
these issues beginning with an
opportunity for the Postal Service to
present its case on these issues and
followed by an opportunity for
interested persons to respond.2
Licensing. In Order No. 154, the
Commission generally authorized the
licensing of the Postal Service’s
intellectual property to continue as a
nonpostal service. Id. at 73. As an
interim measure, however, the
Commission grandfathered the licenses
of the Postal Service’s brands on
products relating to the Postal Service’s
operations, categorized by the Postal
Service as Mailing & Shipping, pending
the outcome of Phase II. This issue was
brought to the forefront late in the first
phase of this proceeding by Pitney
Bowes upon learning that Postal
Service-branded postage meter ink
cartridges were being sold.3 The
Commission found that the record on
licenses related to Postal Service
operations to be insufficiently
developed for it to determine whether
those licenses should be terminated or
authorized to continue.4
Further proceedings in this Phase II
are needed to develop a more complete
record regarding licensing programs for
products related to Postal Service
operations generally, as well as the
1 PRC Order No. 154, Review of Nonpostal
Services Under the Postal Accountability and
Enhancement Act, December 19, 2008 (Order No.
154).
2 The Commission also indicated a separate
docket would be established to develop regulations
applicable to authorized nonpostal services. That
docket will be initiated shortly.
3 Pitney Bowes Inc. Motion to Compel United
States Postal Service to File a Complete List of
Nonpostal Services, October 15, 2008. Pitney
Bowes’ motion, supported by pleadings responsive
to the matter, challenged the appropriateness of the
Postal Service licensing its trademark for products
related to Postal Service operations. See also PRC
Order No. 126, Order Granting, In Part, Pitney
Bowes Inc. Motion to Compel, November 4, 2008.
4 Order No. 154 at 76. Order No. 154 directed the
Postal Service to ‘‘promptly notify the Commission
of any other such licenses [that relate to postal
operations] that may exist.’’ Id., n.146. This order
is not intended to modify that directive. The Postal
Service indicates five vendors are licensed to sell
Mailing & Shipping products bearing the Postal
Service’s intellectual property. Initial Response of
the United States Postal Service to Order No. 74,
June 9, 2008, at 22. See also Response of the United
States Postal Service to Order No. 126 Regarding
Licensing Agreements and Notice of Filing of
Sworn Statement, November 17, 2008; and Errata to
Response of the United States Postal Service to
Order No. 126 Regarding Licensing Agreements,
November 19, 2008.
