SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on 
February 13, 2006, based on a complaint filed by SanDisk Corporation of 
Sunnyvale, California. The complaint alleges violations of section 337 
of the Tariff Act of 1930 (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 NOR and NAND flash memory devices 
and products containing same by reason of infringement of various 
claims of United States Patent Nos. 5,172,338 (``the '338 patent''); 
5,991,517 (``the '517 patent''); and 6,542,956 (``the '956 patent''). 
The complaint named two respondents: STMicroelectronics N.V. of Geneva, 
Switzerland and STMicroelectronics, Inc. of Carrollton, Texas 
(collectively, ``ST'').
    On May 17, 2006, the ALJ granted, by an ID issued June 1, 2006, 
SanDisk's motion for partial termination of the investigation with 
respect to the '956 patent. The Commission issued a notice that it 
determined not to review the ID on June 19, 2006.
    On June 1, 2007, the ALJ issued the final ID finding no violation 
of Section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation or the sale within the United States after importation, of 
certain NOR and NAND flash memory devices and products containing the 
same in connection with the asserted claims of the '517 and '338 
patents. No petitions for review of the ID were filed. 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
