SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on May 1, 2012, based on a complaint filed by Microchip Technology 
Incorporated of Chandler, Arizona (``Microchip''). 77 FR 25747-48 (May 
1, 2012). The complaint 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 semiconductor integrated circuit 
devices and products containing same by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,225,088; 6,245,597; 6,159,765; 
5,760,720 (``the '720 patent''); 6,559,783; and 6,847,904. The 
complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents Intersil 
Corporation of Milpitas, California; Zilker Labs, Inc. of Austin, Texas 
(``Zilker''); and Techwell LLC of Milpitas, California. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigation was not named as a participating party.
    On June 5, 2012, Microchip filed a motion for leave to amend its 
Complaint and the NOI to change the name of respondent Zilker to Zilker 
Labs LLC. The motion also sought leave to amend Exhibit 74 to the 
Complaint to correct a clerical error regarding the identification of a 
Microchip product that allegedly practices the `720 patent. The motion 
indicated that no party opposed Microchip's request.
    On June 7, 2012, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting 
Microchip's motion pursuant to section 210.14(b)(1) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)). 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: June 27, 2012.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
