INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation No. 337-TA-360]
    In the Matter of Certain Devices for Connecting Computers Via 
Telephone Lines.

 

Notice of Decision Not To Review an Initial Determination 
Granting Complainant's Motion for Summary Determination on the Issue of 
Domestic Industry

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination (ID) 
(Order No. 20) issued by the presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) 
in the above-captioned investigation granting the motion of complainant 
Farallon Computing, Inc. (``Farallon'') for summary determination on 
the issue of domestic industry.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth C. Rose, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20436. Telephone: (202) 205-3113.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this 
investigation, which concerns allegations of violations of section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation and sale of certain 
devices for connecting computers via telephone lines, on November 12, 
1993; a notice of the institution was published in the Federal Register 
on November 17, 1993 (58 FR 60671). Complainant Farallon alleges 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Letters Patent 5,003,579.
    On April 1, 1994, Farallon filed a motion for summary determination 
on the issue of domestic industry. The motion was unopposed by any 
respondent. The Commission investigative attorney supported the motion. 
On April 21, 1994, the ALJ issued an ID granting the motion. The ALJ 
determined that complainant practices the patent claims in issue, and 
that there is sufficient uncontroverted information to establish the 
existence of a domestic industry to warrant granting the motion. No 
petitions for review of the ID were filed. No agency or public comments 
were received.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission interim rule 210.53, 
19 CFR 210.53.
    Copies of the nonconfidential version of the ID and all other 
nonconfidential documents filed in connection with this investigation 
are or will be available for inspection during official business hours 
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20436, telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing-impaired individuals are advised 
that information on this matter can be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal at 202-205-1810.

    Issued: May 19, 1994.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
