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 the presiding administrative 
law judge's (``ALJ'') initial determination (``ID'') (Order No. 19) 
granting the joint motion to terminate the captioned investigation 
based on a settlement agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This investigation was instituted on March 
1, 2007, based on a complaint filed by Renesas. The complaint, as 
supplemented, alleged 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 dynamic random access memory devices and 
products containing the same by reason of infringement of certain 
claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,115,344 and 7,116,128. The complaint named 
as respondents Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., of Seoul, Korea, and 
Samsung Electronics America, Inc., of Ridgefield Park, New Jersey 
(collectively, ``Samsung'').
    On April 25, 2008, Renesas and Samsung jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation on the basis of a settlement agreement. On April 28, 
2008, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting 
the motion.
    On April 29, 2008, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the joint 
motion to terminate the investigation based on a settlement agreement. 
The ALJ found that the motion complied with the requirements of 
Commission Rule 210.21 (19 CFR 210.21). The ALJ also concluded that, 
pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2) (19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)), there 
is no evidence that termination of this investigation will prejudice 
the public interest. No petitions for review of this 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 section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: May 13, 2008.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
