law judge's (ALJ's) initial determination (ID) in the above-captioned

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on November 22, 1996, based on a complaint filed by The Procter & 
Gamble Company. In addition to allegations of patent infringement, the 
complaint alleged copyright infringement by the following respondents: 
Shummi Enterprise Corporation, Shummei Industrial Co. Ltd., Lollipop 
Imports and Exports, and Giftline International Corporation (copyright 
respondents). During the course of discovery, complainant became aware 
that it was not currently utilizing packaging embodying the copyright 
at issue. Consequently, on March 3, 1997, complainant moved for partial 
termination of the investigation with respect to the subject copyright 
allegations pursuant to Commission rule 210.21(a)(1). The Commission 
investigative attorney filed a response in support of complainant's 
motion. None of the copyright respondents filed a response to the 
motion. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.

Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, and Commission rule 210.42, 19 
CFR Sec. 210.42.
