SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this
investigation, which concerns allegations of unfair acts in violation
of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation and sale of
certain personal watercraft and components thereof on March 9, 2001,
based on a complaint filed by Yamaha Hatsudoki Kabushiki Kaisha, dba
Yamaha Motor Company, Ltd., and Sanshin Kogyo Kabushi Kaisha, dba
Sanshin Industries, Ltd. (collectively, ``Yamaha'') of Japan. 66 FR
14937. The respondents named in the notice of investigation are
Bombardier, Inc. of Canada and Bombardier Motor Corporation of America
of Wausau, Wisconsin (collectively ``Bombardier''). Yamaha's complaint
alleged that Bombardier's products infringed claims of 11 different
patents held by Yamaha.
On May 13, 2002, Yamaha and Bombardier entered into a settlement
agreement, and on May 24, 2002, Yamaha and Bombardier filed a joint
motion to terminate the investigation on the basis of that settlement
agreement. The Commission investigative attorney supported the joint
motion. On June 3, 2002, the presiding ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 105)
granting the motion to terminate the investigation. No party petitioned
for review of 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 Sec. 210.42 of the Commission's rules of practice and procedure (19
CFR 210.42).
Issued: June 20, 2002.
By order of the Commission.
