The Commission instituted this investigation on August 3, 2004, based on a complaint filed by TAL Apparel Limited, TALTECH Limited, and The Apparel Group Limited (collectively "TAL") 69 FR 47857 (August 6, 2004.) The complaint, as amended alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 337 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, sale for importation, and/or sale within the United States after importation of certain shirts with pucker-free seams that infringe certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 5,568,779 and U.S. Patent No. 5,590,615. The complaint names as respondents Esquel Apparel, Inc. and Esquel Enterprises Limited (collectively "Esquel").
On February 1, 2005, TAL filed a motion to withdraw the complaint and terminate the investigation pursuant to Commission rule 210.21(a). On February 3, 2005, Esquel and the Commission investigative attorney each filed responses to the motion indicating that they did not oppose the motion. On February 8, 2005, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 22) granting TAL's motion. No party filed a petition for review of the ID.
This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and § 210.42(h) of the Commission Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.42(h).
