SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 26, 1996, Quickturn Design
Systems, Inc. of Mountain View, California filed a complaint with the
Commission alleging a violation of section 337 of Tariff Act of 1930 in
the importation, the sale for importation, and the sale within the
United States after importation of certain hardware logic emulation
systems and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain
U.S. patents owned by Quickturn. Quickturn also filed a motion for
temporary relief on the same date.
The Commission instituted an investigation of Quickturn's
complaint, provisionally accepted its motion for temporary relief, and
published a notice of investigation in the Federal Register on March 8,
1996. 61 Fed. Reg. 9486. The notice named Mentor Graphics Corp. of
Wilsonville, Oregon and Meta Systems of Saclay, France as respondents.
On May 1, 1996, Bull HN Information Systems, Inc. of Billerica,
Massachusetts moved to intervene in the permanent relief phase of the
investigation. The motion was opposed by Quickturn and supported by
Mentor and Meta. The Commission investigative attorney did not oppose
the motion.

granting Bull's motion to intervene. Quickturn filed a petition for
review of the ID, and Mentor, Meta, and Bull filed oppositions to the
petition.

1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337), and Commission rule 210.42 (19
C.F.R. Sec. 210.42).
