California (``SiRF''), alleging a violation of section 337 in the 
importation, sale for importation, and sale within the United States 
after importation of certain GPS chips, associated software and 
systems, and products containing same by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,304,216; 7,043,363; 7,091,904 
(``the '904 patent''); and 7,132,980. 72 FR 11378 (Mar. 13, 2007). The

on July 17, 2007, that he did not oppose complainant's motion. On July
