On June 20, 2003, the notice of investigation was published in the Federal Register. 68 FR 37023. The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation and sale of certain automotive measuring devices, products containing same, and bezels for such devices, by reason of infringement of U.S. Registered Trademark Nos. 1,732,643 and 1,497,472, and U.S. Supplemental Register No. 1,903,908, and infringement of complainant's trade dress. Subsequently, seven more firms were added as respondents based on two separate motions filed by complainant, and the investigation was terminated as to four respondents on the basis of consent orders.
On June 7, 2004, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 30) terminating the investigation as to respondent Jimray Technology, Inc. d/b/a Progauges Co., Ltd. (“Jimray”) on the basis of a settlement agreement and consent order. The ALJ observed that respondent Jimray and complainant Auto Meter filed a joint motion to terminate based on a settlement agreement between them, and a proposed consent order. The Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting the motion to terminate the investigation. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
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).
