SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 9, 2002, based on a complaint filed by Franklin Electronic

LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc. of Emeryville, California, and Jetta Company 
Ltd. of Fanling, N.T., Hong Kong. 67 FR 51686 (Aug. 2002). The 
complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 
in the importation and sale of certain electronic educational devices 
and components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1-4 of U.S. 
Patent No. 5,203,705. On November 5, 2002, Franklin filed an unopposed 
motion for leave to withdraw its complaint and terminate the 
investigation. On November 12, 2002, the Commission investigative 
attorney filed a response in support of Franklin's motion.
    On November 14, 2002, ALJ issued an ID granting Franklin's motion. 
No party filed a petition for review of the ALJ's ID. The authority for 
the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in section 210.42 
of the Commission's rules of practice and procedure (19 CFR 210.42).

    Issued: December 6, 2002.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
