Notice is hereby given that a complaint was filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission on December 2, 1994, under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337, on behalf of Redmond Products, Inc. 18930 West 78th Street, Chanhassen, MN 55317. An amended complaint was filed on December 16, 1994, and supplementary letters were filed on December 22 and 23, 1994. The complaint alleges 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 health and beauty aids by reason of infringement of federally registered and common law trademarks incorporating the terms ``Aussie'' or ``Australian.'' The complaint further alleges that there exists an industry in the United States with regard to the health and beauty aids at issue, and that the domestic industry is being injured or is threatened with injury because of the allegedly infringing articles. The complainant requests that the Commission institute an investigation and, after a hearing, issue a permanent exclusion order and a permanent cease and desist order.
