DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Antitrust Division

 

Proposed Termination of Final Judgment, Combustion Engineering, 
Inc.

    Notice is hereby given that Combustion Engineering, Inc. (``CE''), 
has filed with the United States District Court for the Southern 
District of New York, a motion to terminate the Final Judgment in 
United States versus Combustion Engineering, Inc., Civil No. 126-230; 
and the Department of Justice (``Department''), in a Stipulation also 
filed with the Court, has tentatively consented to termination of the 
Judgment, reserving the right to withdraw its consent based on public 
comments and for other reasons.
    The Complaint in this case, filed on November 1, 1957, alleged that 
Combustion Engineering entered into market allocation and exclusive 
dealing arrangements with twelve foreign companies that manufactured 
steam generating and fuel burning equipment (``Equipment''). The Final 
Judgment, among other things, enjoined CE from enforcing provisions in 
then existing patent and technology license agreements with foreign 
manufacturers of Equipment that involved territorial market allocation, 
cross-licensing and exclusive dealing. The judgment also prohibits 
future agreements with foreign Equipment manufacturers to allocate 
territories, restrict imports or exports, tie products or services to 
individual purchases, deal exclusively or cross-license.
    The Department has filed with the Court a memorandum setting forth 
the reasons the Department believes that termination of the Judgment 
would serve the public interest. Copies of the Complaint, Final 
Judgment, the United States' memorandum, CE's Motion papers, and all 
further papers filed with the Court in connection with this Motion will 
be available for inspection at Room 3233, Antitrust Division, 
Department of Justice, 10th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20530 (telephone: 202-514-2481), and at the Office of 
the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District 
of New York, United States Courthouse, Foley Square, New York, New York 
10007. Copies of any of these materials may be obtained from the 
Antitrust Division upon request and payment of the copying fee set by 
Department of Justice regulations.
    Interested persons may submit comments regarding the proposed 
termination of the Judgment to the Department. Such comments must be 
received within the sixty (60) day period established by Court order, 
and will be filed with the Court by the Department. Comments should be 
addressed to J. Robert Kramer, II, Chief, Litigation II Section, 
Antitrust Division, Department of Justice, 1401 H Street, NW., City 
Center Building, Suite 3000, Washington, DC 20530 (telephone: 202-307-
