INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Inv. No. 337-TA-592]


In the Matter of Certain Nand Flash Memory Devices and Components 
Thereof, and Products Containing Same; Notice of a Commission 
Determination Not To Review an Initial Determination Terminating the 
Investigation

AGENCY:  U.S. International Trade Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') of the presiding administrative law judge (``ALJ'') 
terminating the above-captioned investigation under section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). The Commission has terminated the 
investigation based on a settlement agreement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clint Gerdine, Esq., telephone 202-
708-2310, Office of the General Counsel, U.S. International Trade 
Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 20436. Copies of all 
nonconfidential documents filed in connection with this investigation 
are or will be available for inspection during official business hours 
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20436, telephone 202-205-2000. General information concerning the 
Commission may also be obtained by accessing its Internet server 
(http://www.usitc.gov). The public record for this investigation may be 
viewed on the Commission's electronic docket (EDIS) at http://edis.usitc.gov. Hearing-impaired persons are advised that information 
on the matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD 
terminal on 202-205-1810.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on February 15, 2007, based on a complaint filed on January 9, 2007, by 
Toshiba Corporation (``Toshiba'') of Japan. 72 FR 7457-8. The 
complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 in the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain NAND flash 
memory devices and components thereof, and products containing same, by 
reason of infringement of U.S. Patent No. 6,703,658; U.S. Patent No. 
6,424,588; and U.S. Patent No. 5,627,782. The complaint names two 
respondents: Hynix Semiconductor Inc. of Korea and Hynix Semiconductor 
America Inc. of San Jose, California (collectively ``Hynix''). The 
complaint further alleges that an industry in the United States exists 
as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
    On March 22, 2007, respondent Hynix filed a joint motion to 
terminate the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. The 
Commission Investigative Attorney filed a response in support of the 
motion on March 30, 2007.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID on April 3, 2007, granting the joint 
motion for termination. No party petitioned for review of the ID 
pursuant to 19 CFR 210.43(a), and the Commission found no basis for 
ordering a review on its own initiative pursuant to 19 CFR 210.44. 
Accordingly, 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 sections 210.21(a)(2), (b) and 210.42(h)(3) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure.

    Issued: April 16, 2007.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
