SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
1046 on April 12, 2017, based on a complaint filed by Macronix
International Co., Ltd. of Hsin-chu, Taiwan and Macronix America, Inc.
of Milpitas, California (collectively, ``Macronix''). 82 FR 17687-88
(Apr. 12, 2017). 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 non-volatile memory
devices and products containing the same that infringe one or more
claims of U.S. Patent No. 6,552,360; U.S. Patent No. 6,788,602; and
U.S. Patent No. 8,035,417. The notice of investigation named the
following respondents: Toshiba Corporation of Tokyo, Japan; Toshiba
America, Inc. of New York, New York; Toshiba America Electronic
Components, Inc. of Irvine, California; Toshiba America Information
Systems, Inc. of Irvine, California; and Toshiba Information Equipment
(Philippines), Inc. of Binan, Philippines. The Office of Unfair Import
Investigations is a party to the investigation.
On May 22, 2017, Macronix moved for leave to amend the complaint
and notice of investigation to add Toshiba Memory as a respondent to
the investigation and stating that respondents do not oppose the
motion. On May 24, 2017, the Commission investigative attorney filed a
response in support of the motion. No other responses to the motion
were filed.
On June 1, 2017, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the
unopposed motion. The ALJ found that pursuant to Commission Rule
210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)), good cause exists to amend the complaint
and notice of investigation to add Toshiba Memory as a respondent. None
of the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
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 Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR
part 210).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: June 16, 2017.
Lisa R. Barton,
Secretary to the Commission.
