(``ID'') (Order No. 18) issued by the presiding administrative law
judge (``ALJ'') terminating the above-captioned investigation as to
respondents Lynx Industries, Inc., Napoleon Spring Works, Inc., and
Guardian Access Corp. on the basis of withdrawal of the complaint.
Since these three respondents are the only respondents remaining in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on July 19, 2001, based on a complaint filed by the Chamberlain Group,
Inc. of Elmhurst, Illinois (``Chamberlain'') against six respondents,
66 FR 37704 (July 19, 2001). Two respondents and an intervenor were
subsequently added to the investigation. The complaint alleged
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation
into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within
the United States after importation of certain garage door operators
including components thereof by reason of infringement of claims 1-8 of
U.S. Letters Patent Re. 35,364 and claims 5-30 of U.S. Letters Patent
Re. 36,703. On February 6, 2002, complainant Chamberlain filed a motion
to terminate the investigation as to respondents Lynx Industries, Inc.,
Napoleon Spring Works, Inc., and Guardian Access Corp. on the basis of
withdrawal of the complaint. The Commission investigative attorney
supported the joint motion and the three respondents opposed it. On
June 5, 2002, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 18) granting the motion.
No petitions for review of the ID were filed. This action is taken
under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C.
1337, and section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure, 19 CFR 210.42.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 25, 2002.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
