In the Matter of Certain Devices Having Elastomeric Gel and

an Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation in Its Entirety

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'') (Order No. 20) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') in the above-captioned investigation terminating the 
investigation in its entirety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on August 4, 2010, based on the complaint, as supplemented, of

[[Page 13435]]

Interactive Life Forms, LLC of Austin, Texas (``ILF''). 75 FR 47027 
(Aug. 4, 2010). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), based upon the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain devices 
having elastomeric gel and components thereof by reason of infringement 
of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,782,818 and 5,807,360. The 
complaint originally named 26 respondents, including Polydigitech Inc. 
of Schaumburg, Illinois (``Polydigitech''), and Satistic, LLC of Las 
Vegas, Nevada (``Satistic''). The complaint was later amended, as was 
the notice of investigation, to add two respondents and correct the 
identification of two original respondents. 75 FR 64742 (Oct. 20, 
2010). Since institution, Satistic has been found in default and all 
remaining respondents, save Polydigitech, have been terminated from the 
investigation based upon consent order stipulations and consent orders 
or based upon settlement.
    On December 29, 2010, ILF filed a motion to terminate the 
investigation in its entirety, in which it represented that it is not 
seeking entry of a limited exclusion order, a cease and desist order, 
or any other relief despite Satistic having been found in default. ILF 
further represented that it had decided to withdraw its complaint 
against Polydigitech, the last remaining respondent in the 
investigation, because its allegations against Polydigitech were based 
upon that firm's distribution of products manufactured by original 
respondent TENGA Co., Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan, which has since entered 
into a consent order and been terminated from the investigation. ILF 
also stated that neither Polydigitech nor the Commission investigative 
attorney opposed the motion.
    On January 28, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID. Given ILF's 
decision not to seek any relief against the defaulted party, and 
finding no extraordinary circumstances that would preclude the 
Commission from terminating the investigation in its entirety based on 
the withdrawal of the complaint as to Polydigitech, the only remaining 
respondent in the investigation, the ALJ granted ILF's unopposed 
motion. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID.
    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: February 17, 2011.

Hearings and Meetings Coordinator.
