Other Events
On February 6, 2012, Schweitzer-Mauduit International Inc. (SWM) provided an update to the initial decision rendered on February 1, 2012 by Administrative Law Judge Gildea in the International Trade Commission (ITC) action filed by SWM under Section 337 (b) of the Tariff Act of 1930. After SWM's review of the full, non-public, initial decision issued by Judge Gildea, the Company believes certain errors of fact and law warrant petitioning the full ITC for review.
The ITC's initial decision found that SWM's Claims 36, 43, and 45 of United States Patent No. 6,725,867 and Claims 1-6, 10-18, and 22-25 of United States Patent No. 5,878,753 were not infringed by Julius Glatz, LIPtec and KneX Worldwide. SWM has instructed its counsel to file a petition for review with the ITC, expected to be made within the 12 days of the initial decision as required by the ITC.
The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.  This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference to such filings.
