SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Patent-based exclusion orders in Commission
investigations instituted under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337, et. seq.) remain in force until the
expiration dates of the underlying United States patents. Prior to the
enactment of the URAA, the term of a United States utility patent was
17 years, measured from the date the patent was issued by the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office.
Section 532(a) of the URAA (35 U.S.C. 154(a)(2) and (c)(1))
provides that all utility patents in force on, or resulting from
applications filed before, June 8, 1995, will have a term that is the
greater of 17 years from the date of issue or 20 years from the date
the application for patent was first filed. Accordingly, the terms of
the exclusion orders issued in connection with the above listed
investigations have been extended to the dates listed above in
conformity with section 532(a) of the URAA. For further information,
see Certain Microsphere Adhesives Process for Making Same, and Products
Containing Same, Including Self-Stick Repositionable Notes, USITC Inv.
