SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation
on May 5, 2010, based on a complaint filed by Panasonic Corporation of
Japan. 75 FR 24742-43. 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 large scale
integrated circuit semiconductor chips and products containing same by
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,933,364
and 6,834,336. The complaint further alleges the existence of a
domestic industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named
several respondents including the following: Freescale Semiconductor
Xiqing Integrated Semiconductor Manufacturing Site (``Freescale
Xiqing'') of China; Freescale Semiconductor Innovation Center
(``Freescale Innovation'') of China; Freescale Semiconductor Pte. Ltd.
of Singapore; Premier Farnell Corporation d/b/a Newark (``Newark'') of
Independence, Ohio; Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. of Austin, Texas;
Freescale Semiconductor Japan Ltd. of Japan; Freescale Semiconductor
Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. of Malaysia; Freescale Semiconductor Pte. Ltd. of
Singapore; Mouser Electronics, Inc. of Mansfield, Texas; and Motorola
Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois.
On August 16, 2010, the Commission issued notice of its
determination not to review the ALJ's ID granting complainant's
unopposed motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation.
The notice of investigation was amended to substitute Freescale
Qiangxin (Tianjin) IC Design Co., Ltd. of China; Freescale
Semiconductor (China) Limited of China; and Newark Electronics
Corporation and Newark Corporation of Chicago, Illinois for respondents
Freescale Xiqing, Freescale Innovation, and Newark, respectively. 75 FR
51843 (August 23, 2010).
On February 11 and 16, 2011, respectively, complainant and
respondents filed a joint motion, and a supplemental joint motion, to
terminate the investigation as to all respondents based on a settlement
agreement. The Commission investigative attorney filed a response in
support of the motion.
The ALJ issued the subject ID on February 28, 2011, granting the
motion for termination. He found that the motion for termination
satisfies Commission rule 210.21(b). He further found, pursuant to
Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of this investigation by
settlement agreement is in the public interest. No party petitioned for
review of the ID. The Commission has determined not to review the ID,
and the investigation is terminated.
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 sections 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.21, 210.42(h).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: March 11, 2011.

Acting Secretary to the Commission.
