Determination Terminating the Investigation on the Basis of a 
Settlement Agreement; Expiration of Temporary Exclusion Order

    In the matter of certain dielectric miniature microwave filters 
and multiplexers containing same. Investigation No. 337-TA-359.

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 the presiding administrative 
law judge's (ALJ's) initial determination (ID) in the above-captioned 
investigation terminating the investigation on the basis of a 
settlement agreement. By its own terms, the temporary limited exclusion 
order issued in this investigation expired with the termination of the 
investigation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jean Jackson, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-
205-3104.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 4, 1993, Space Systems/Loral, 
Inc. (SSL) filed a complaint and a motion for temporary relief with the 
Commission alleging violations of section 337 in the importation, the 
sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain dielectric miniature microwave filters and 
multiplexers containing same. SSL's complaint alleged infringement of 
claims 1, 3, 7-11, and 14 of U.S. Letters Patent 4,489,293 (the '293 
patent). The motion for temporary relief was limited to claims 1 and 14 
of the '293 patent.
    The Commission instituted an investigation into the allegations of 
SSL's complaint, provisionally accepted SSL's motion for temporary 
relief, and published a notice to that effect in the Federal Register. 
58 FR 60877-78 (November 18, 1993). The notice named Com Dev Ltd. (Com 
Dev) of Ontario, Canada as the only respondent.
    On March 17, 1994, the ALJ issued an ID finding that there was 
reason to believe that there is a violation of section 337 in the 
importation, sale for importation, or sale in the United States after 
importation of the accused miniature microwave filters. The Commission 
determined to modify the ID in one minor respect, and to affirm the ID 
in all other respects. On April 18, 1994, the Commission, having 
determined that temporary relief was warranted issued a limited 
temporary exclusion order directed against Com Dev. 59 FR 19210 (April 
22, 1994).
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and Sec. 210.53(h) of the 
Commission's Interim Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.53(h).
    Copies of the public version of the ALJ's 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 persons are advised that 
information on the matter can be obtained by contacting the 
Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 25, 1994.

Secretary.
