The complaint named Eastman Kodak Company of Rochester, New York (‘‘Kodak’’) as respondent. On May 12, 2011, the ALJ issued his final ID, finding no violation of section 337 by Kodak with respect to any of the asserted claims of the asserted patents. Specifically, the ALJ found that the accused products do not infringe the asserted claims of the ’964 patent. The ALJ also found that none of the cited references rendered the asserted claims obvious, and that Kodak is not a coowner of the patent. Regarding the ’911 patent, the ALJ found that the accused products do not infringe its asserted claims. The ALJ also found that the prior art anticipates and invalidates the asserted claims and that Kodak is not a co-owner of the patent. The ALJ concluded that an industry exists within the United States that practices the ’911 patent but that a domestic industry does not exist with respect to the ’964 patent as required by 19 U.S.C. 1337(a)(2). On June 1, 2011, Apple filed a petition for review of the ALJ’s findings related to the ’964 patent. Apple did not petition for review of any of the ALJ’s findings related to the ’911 patent. On June 9, 2011, the Commission investigative attorney (‘‘IA’’) and Kodak filed respective responses to Apple’s petition for review. Neither the IA nor Kodak filed petitions or contingent petitions for review of the ID. Having examined the record of this investigation, including the ALJ’s final ID, the petition for review, and the responses thereto, the Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in sections 210.42–46 of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42–46). By order of the Commission. Issued: July 18, 2011. James R. Holbein, Secretary to the Commission.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Overview: The goal of the solicitation is to provide organizational leaders and managers across the corrections continuum (jails, prisons, community corrections) with a method to (1) Begin to internally evaluate the existence of internal policy and practice and their applicability to justice-involved women by using evidence-based practices and gender-informed research and knowledge as a foundation, (2) identify gaps and strengths in current services, and (3) provide sufficient guidance for an organization to begin to strategize desired internal change. NIC has incorporated much of the evidencebased, gender-informed research and knowledge into a variety of products that can be accessed on the NIC Web site at https://www.nicic.gov and on NIC’s women offender Web page at https://www.nicic.gov/womenoffenders. Background: NIC has provided a broad range of services to organizations that wanted to develop, enhance, and/ or revise their policies and practices to better manage their increasing population of justice-involved women. Systems are often overwhelmed with the increasing numbers of women, surpassing the rate at which men have been entering the system. From 1995 to 2005, the total number of female prisoners increased 57% compared to a 34% increase in male prisoners (Harrison & Beck (2006) Prison and Jail Inmates at Midyear 2005 (NCJ Publication No. 213133).
