of U.S. Registered Trademark Nos.

and infringement of complainant's trade dress. Subsequently, seven more 
firms were added as respondents based on two separate motions filed by 
complainant, and the investigation was terminated as to three 
respondents on the basis of consent orders.
    On May 25, 2004, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 29) terminating 
the investigation as to respondent Leader Way International, Inc. of 
Hsinchuang City, Taiwan (``Leader Way'') on the basis of a settlement 
agreement and consent order. The ALJ observed that respondent Leader 
Way filed a joint (together with complainant Auto Meter) motion to 
terminate based on a settlement agreement between them, and a proposed 
consent order. The Commission investigative attorney filed a response 
in which she stated that she does not oppose the joint motion. No 
petitions for review of the ID were filed.
    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 Sec.  210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 
CFR 210.42).

    Issued: June 18, 2004.
    By order of the Commission.

Secretary to the Commission.
