SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Commission instituted this investigation on May 1, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Microchip Technology Incorporated of Chandler, Arizona ("Microchip"). 77 FR 25747-48 (May 1, 2012). The complaint alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of certain semiconductor integrated circuit devices and products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,225,088; 6,245,597; 6,159,765; 5,760,720 ("the '720 patent"); 6,559,783; and 6,847,904. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Intersil Corporation of Milpitas, California; Zilker Labs, Inc. of Austin, Texas ("Zilker"); and Techwell LLC of Milpitas, California. The Office of Unfair Import Investigation was not named as a participating party.
On June 5, 2012, Microchip filed a motion for leave to amend its Complaint and the NOI to change the name of respondent Zilker to Zilker Labs LLC. The motion also sought leave to amend Exhibit 74 to the Complaint to correct a clerical error regarding the identification of a Microchip product that allegedly practices the `720 patent. The motion indicated that no party opposed Microchip's request.
On June 7, 2012, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting Microchip's motion pursuant to section 210.14(b)(1) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)). No petitions for review of this ID were filed.
The Commission has determined not to review the ID.
The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.42).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 27, 2012.
