[Investigation No. 337-TA-594]


In the Matter of Certain Lighting Products, Components Thereof, 
and Products Containing the Same; Notice of a Commission Determination 
Not To Review an Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation on 
the Basis of a Settlement Agreement

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 an initial determination 
(``ID'') of the presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') in the 
above-captioned investigation terminating the investigation in its 
entirety on the basis of a settlement agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 27, 2007, based on a complaint filed by Cooper Lighting, 
Inc. of Peachtree City, Georgia. 72 FR 8790 (February 27, 2007). The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337 (``section 337'') in the importation 
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within 
the United States after importation of certain lighting products, 
components thereof, and products containing the same by reason of 
infringement of claims 23, 26, and 27 of U.S. Patent No. 6,082,878 and 
claims 1 and 7 of U.S. Patent No. 5,662,413. The complaint further 
alleged that an industry in the United States exists as required by 
subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complaint requested that the 
Commission issue an exclusion order and cease and desist orders. The 
Commission named two companies as respondents, Cordelia Lighting, Inc. 
and Jimway, Inc. Both companies are located in Rancho Dominguez, 
California.
    On July 12, 2007, Cooper and the two respondents filed a joint 
motion to terminate the investigation based upon a settlement 
agreement. The Commission investigative attorney filed a response in 
support of the motion and no party opposed the motion. On July 25, 
2007, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 6) that grants the 
parties' joint motion and terminates the investigation on the basis of 
a settlement agreement. No petitions for review were filed and the 
Commission has determined not to review the ID. No respondents remain 
in the investigation and the investigation is therefore terminated in 
its entirety.
    This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rules 
210.21, 210.42, 19 CFR 210.21, 210.42.

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: August 17, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
