[Investigation No. 337-TA-707]


In the Matter of Certain Dynamic Random Access Memory 
Semiconductors and Products Containing Same, Including Memory Modules; 
Notice of a Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial 
Determination Terminating the Investigation as to All Remaining 
Respondents

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 an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 10) of the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') terminating the above-captioned investigation as to all 
remaining respondents based on a settlement agreement.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clint Gerdine, Esq., Office of the 
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, 
SW., Washington, DC 20436, telephone (202) 708-2310. Copies of non-

International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Washington, DC 
20436, telephone (202) 205-2000. General information concerning the

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on March 25, 2010, based on a complaint filed on February 19, 2010, by 
Infineon Technologies AG of Germany and Infineon Technologies North 
America Corp. of Milpitas, California (collectively ``complainants''). 
75 FR 14467-68 (March 25, 2010). The complaint, as amended, alleges 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 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 semiconductors and products 
containing same, including memory modules, by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 5,480,051; 5,422,309; 5,397,664; and 
7,071,074. The complaint further alleges that an industry in the United 
States exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337. The 
complaint names numerous respondents including Buffalo Inc. of Japan 
and Buffalo Technology (USA), Inc. of Austin, Texas (collectively, 
``the Buffalo respondents'').
    On May 25, 2010, the Commission issued notice of its determination 
not to review the ALJ's ID terminating the Buffalo respondents based 
upon a consent order. On June 18, 2010, complainants and a majority of 
the remaining respondents moved to terminate the investigation as to 
all remaining respondents based upon a settlement agreement.
    The ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 10) on June 29, 2010, 
granting the joint motion for termination. He found that the motion for 
termination satisfies Commission rules 210.21(a)(2), (b)(1). He further 
found, pursuant to Commission rule 210.50(b)(2), that termination of 
this investigation as to all remaining respondents by settlement 
agreement is in the public interest. No party petitioned for review of 
the ID. 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 sections 210.21 and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice 
and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.21, 210.42(h).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: July 22, 2010.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
