SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on October 3, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Draeger Medical
Systems, Inc., of Telford, Pennsylvania (``Draeger''). 78 FR 61383
(Oct. 3, 2013). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (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 certain thermal support devices
for infants, infant incubators, infant warmers, and components thereof
by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos.
6,483,080 and 7,335,157. The notice of investigation named Atom Medical
International, Inc., of Tokyo, Japan (``Atom'') as the sole respondent.
On February 5, 2014, Draeger and Atom jointly moved to terminate
the investigation based upon a settlement agreement. On February 12,
2014, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response in support
of the motion.
On February 14, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the
motion to terminate the investigation. The ALJ determined that the
parties stated there are no agreements between the parties concerning
the subject matter of this investigation other than the settlement
agreement between Draeger and Atom. The ALJ further determined that the
parties filed a public version of the settlement agreement in
accordance with the Commission's rules. The ALJ also determined that
there is no indication that termination of this investigation based on
the settlement agreement would have an adverse impact on the public
interest. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID. The
investigation is terminated.
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 Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
Part 210).
