SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

on January 27, 2011, based on a
complaint filed by Schweitzer-Mauduit
International, Inc. (‘‘Schweitzer’’) of
Alpharetta, Georgia. 76 FR 4935
(January 27, 2011). The complaint
alleged violations of Section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19
U.S.C. 1337, in the sale for importation,
importation, or sale after importation of
certain reduced ignition proclivity
cigarette paper wrappers and products
containing same by reason of
infringement of certain claims of U.S.
Patent Nos. 5,878,753 (‘‘the ’753
patent’’) and 6,725,867 (‘‘the ’867
patent’’). The Commission’s notice of
investigation named Astra Tobacco
Corporation of Chapel Hill, North
Carolina; delfortgroup AG of Traun,
Austria; LIPtec GmbH of Neidenfels,
Germany; and Julius Glatz GmbH of
Neidenfels, Germany as respondents.
On April 15, 2011, the Commission

of Miami, Florida; Farmer’s Tobacco Co.
of Cynthia, Kentucky; KneX Worldwide,

identified investigation. Specifically,
the ALJ found that there was no
violation with respect to either the ’753
patent or the ’867 patent by Glatz. The
ALJ also issued a recommended
determination on remedy, the public
interest, and bonding.
Schweitzer filed a petition for review
of the final ID. Glatz filed a contingent
petition for review. Each of the parties

issued notice of its determination to
review the final ID in part, and to solicit
briefing on certain issues including on
remedy, the public interest, and
bonding. With respect to the ’753

review the construction of the term
‘‘gradually’’ in the asserted claims and
the issues of direct and indirect
infringement, obviousness, definiteness,
utility, and the technical prong of the
domestic industry requirement in the
ID. With respect to the ’867 patent, the
Commission determined to review the
construction of the term ‘‘film forming
composition’’ in the asserted claims and
the issues of direct and indirect
infringement, priority date, statutory bar
under 35 U.S.C. 102(b), anticipation,
obviousness, written description,
enablement, and the technical prong of
the domestic industry requirement in
the ID.
Having reviewed the final ID, the
submissions on review, and the record,
the Commission has determined to
terminate the investigation with a final
determination of no violation of section
337.
