behalf of Micron Technology, Inc., 8000 South Federal Way, Boise, Idaho

in the Federal Register on September 25, 1998. 63 Fed. Reg. 51372

    The presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) issued his final ID on 
November 29, 1999, concluding that there was no violation of section 
337. He found that: (a) Complainant failed to establish the requisite 
domestic industry showing for any of the three patents at issue; (b) 
all asserted claims of the patents are invalid; (c) none of the 
asserted claims of the patents are infringed; and (d) all of the 
patents are unenforceable for inequitable conduct.
    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(h)(2) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 C.F.R. 210.42(h)(2)).
    Copies of the public version of the ALJ's ID and all other
