SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation which concerns allegations of section 337 violations in the importation, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain microsphere adhesives, and products containing same, including self-stick repositionable notes, said to infringe eight claims of U.S. Letters Patent 4,166,152 (the '152 patent), on June 8, 1994 (59 F.R. 29620). The complaint was filed by Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Co. (3M). Print-Inform is one of eight respondents in the investigation. On August 18, 1994, respondent Print-Inform filed a submission with the presiding ALJ which she treated as a motion (Motion No. 366-1) for summary determination that Print-Inform was not infringing the claims in issue of the '152 patent. The motion was opposed by complainant 3M and by the Commission investigative attorney (IA). On November 5, 1994, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 15) granting Print-Inform's motion for summary determination of non-infringement, and terminating the investigation as to that firm. A petition for review of the ID was filed by the IA. Complainant 3M filed a response in support of the IA's petition. No agency comments were received. This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and Commission interim rule 210.53, 19 CFR 210.53.
