SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 21, 2007, based on a complaint filed by St. Clair 
Intellectual Property Consultants, Inc. (``St. Clair''). The complaint 
alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1337) in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain digital cameras and component parts thereof by reason of 
infringement of various claims of five United States patents. The 
complaint names Eastman Kodak Company (``Kodak'') as respondent.
    On May 16, 2008, St. Clair and Kodak jointly moved to terminate the 
investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. On May 19, 2008, 
the Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting the 
motion.
    On May 20, 2008, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the joint 
motion to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement. 
The ALJ found that the motion complied with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21 (19 CFR 210.21). The ALJ also concluded that, 
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)), there 
is no evidence that termination of this investigation will prejudice 
the public interest. No petitions for review of this ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the 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: June 9, 2008.

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