SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 21, 2007, based on a complaint filed by Tessera, Inc. of San 
Jose, California (``Tessera'') against Spansion, Inc. and Spansion, 
LLC, both of Sunnyvale, California; QUALCOMM, Inc. of San Diego, 
California; AT1 Technologies of Thornhill, Ontario, Canada; Motorola, 
Inc. of Schaumburg, Illinois; STMicroelectronics N.V. of Geneva, 
Switzerland; and Freescale Semiconductor, Inc. of Austin, Texas 
(collectively ``Respondents''). 72 FR 28522 (May 21, 2007). The 
complaint 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 
semiconductor chips with minimized chip package size or products 
containing same by reason of infringement of one or more claims of U.S. 
Patent Nos. 5,852,326, and 6,433,419.
    On December 1, 2008, the ALJ issued his final Initial Determination 
(``ID'') finding no violation of section 337 by Respondents. On January 
30, 2009, the Commission issued a Notice determining to review the 
final ID in part and requesting written submissions from the parties 
regarding the issues under review concerning violation of section 337, 
as well as from the public regarding issues of remedy, the public 
interest, bonding. 74 FR 6175-7 (February 5, 2009). On February 6, 
2009, Respondents filed a motion to extend the briefing schedule.
    In light of the fact that the ALJ did not issue the public version 
of the final ID until February 9, 2009, the Commission has determined 
to extend the deadline for receiving initial written submissions on 
issues relating to violation of section 337, remedy, the public 
interest, and bonding until Monday, February 23, 2009. The Commission 
has also determined to extend the deadline for reply submissions on 
issues relating to violation of section 337, remedy, the public 
interest, and bonding until Thursday, March 5, 2009.
    Persons filing written submissions must file the original document 
and 12 true copies thereof on or before the deadlines stated above with 
the Office of the Secretary. Any person desiring to submit a document 
to the Commission in confidence must request confidential treatment 
unless the information has already been granted such treatment during 
the proceedings. All such requests should be directed to the Secretary 
of the Commission and must include a full statement of the reasons why 
the Commission should grant such treatment. See 19 CFR 210.6. Documents 
for which confidential treatment by the Commission is sought will be 
treated accordingly. All nonconfidential written submissions will be 
available for public inspection at the Office of the Secretary.
    The Commission has also determined to extend the target date of the 
above-referenced investigation by eleven (11) days to April 14, 2009.
    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: February 11, 2009.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
