Products Containing Same; Notice of Commission Decision Not To Review 
an Initial Determination Terminating the Investigation on the Basis of 
a Settlement Agreement

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. 73) 
granting the joint motion to terminate the above-captioned 
investigation based on a settlement agreement.

Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW.,

on this matter can be obtained by contacting the Commission's TDD

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
607 based on a complaint filed by Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. of 
Seoul, Korea (``Samsung'') on May 7, 2007. 72 FR 32863 (June 14, 2007). 
The complaint, as amended, 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 semiconductor devices, DMA systems, and 
products containing same by reason of infringement of certain claims of 
U.S. Patent No. 5,613,162 and U.S. Patent No. 7,064,026. The notice of 
investigation named Renesas Technology Corp. of Tokyo, Japan and 
Renesas Technology America, Inc. of San Jose, California (collectively, 
``Renesas'') as respondents. The complaint, as amended, further alleged 
that an industry in the United States exists as required by subsection 
337(a)(2).
    On April 25, 2008, Samsung and Renesas jointly moved to terminate 
the investigation based on a settlement agreement. On April 29, 2008, 
the Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting the 
motion.
    On May 19, 2008, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 73) 
granting the joint motion to terminate the investigation based on a 
settlement agreement. The ALJ found that the joint motion complied with 
the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(b) (19 CFR 210.21(b)). In 
addition, the ALJ concluded, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.50(b)(2) 
(19 CFR 210.50(b)(2)), that 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).
