Inc., of Malibu, California (``Arm's Reach''). 72 Federal Register
11902 (Mar. 14, 2007). The complaint alleged violations of section 337
in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation,
and the sale within the United States after importation of certain
bassinet products by reason of infringement of one or more of claims 1-
2, 5, 10-14, 16, and 18-19 of U.S. Patent No. 6,931,677 and claims 1-2,
10, 15-16, 24, 29-31, and 48-49 of U.S. Patent No. Re. 39,136. The
complaint further alleged that an industry in the United States exists
as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The complainant
requested that the Commission issue a limited exclusion order and a
cease and desist order. The Commission named Simplicity, Inc., of
Reading, Pennsylvania (``Simplicity''), as the sole respondent.
On January 29, 2008, Arm's Reach and Simplicity filed a joint
motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.21(c) to terminate the
investigation as to Simplicity on the basis of a consent order
stipulation and consent order. The Commission investigative attorney
supported the motion.
On February 15, 2008, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 25) granting
the parties' motion, terminating the investigation as to Simplicity,
and terminating the investigation in its entirety on the basis of a
consent order stipulation and consent order. No petitions for review of
the ID were filed, and the Commission has determined not to review the
ID.
