SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 11, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Innovation First 
International, Inc.; Innovation First, Inc.; and Innovation First Labs, 
Inc., all of Greenville, Texas. The complaint alleges violations of 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) by reason of 
misappropriation of trade secrets. The respondents named in the notice 
of investigation are CVS Pharmacy Inc. of Woonsocket, Rhode Island; 
Zuru Inc. of Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands; Zuru Ltd. of 
Kowloon, Hong Kong; and Zuru Toys Inc. of Cambridge, New Zealand.
    On June 3, 2013, the complainants and respondents filed a joint 
motion to

terminate the investigation in its entirety based on the consent order 
stipulations, proposed consent orders, and settlement agreements 
attached to the motion. In the motion, the parties stated that there 
are no other agreements, written or oral, express or implied between 
the parties concerning the subject matter of the investigation.
    On June 14, 2013, the Commission investigative attorney (``IA'') 
filed a response in conditional support of the joint motion, provided 
that the parties modify the proposed consent orders to specify the 
activities authorized by the settlement agreements between the parties. 
On June 21, 2013, complainants and respondents jointly moved for leave 
to file a reply to the IA's response to the joint motion. On June 24, 
2013, the IA indicated to the ALJ that given the changes made to the 
consent orders submitted with the parties' reply, the IA does not 
oppose the joint motion to terminate.
    On July 1, 2013, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the joint 
motion. The ALJ found that there is good cause for terminating the 
investigation, and that he is not aware of any extraordinary 
circumstances that would preclude granting the motion. The ALJ further 
found that entry of the proposed consent orders and termination of the 
investigation is in the public interest. On July 9, 2013, the ALJ 
issued a corrected version of the subject ID to include the revised 
versions of the consent orders. No petitions for review 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).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 19, 2013.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
