Spansion, Inc. (‘‘Spansion’’) of
Sunnyvale, California; and Nanya
Technology Corporation (‘‘Nanya’’) of
Taiwan. The complaint further alleged
that an industry in the United States
exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of
section 337.
On September 21, 2009, the ALJ
issued his final ID finding no violation
of section 337 by the remaining
respondents. He concluded that each
accused process was covered by one or
more of asserted claims 1, 3, and 4 of
the ‘335 patent, but also that all asserted
claims were anticipated under 35 U.S.C.
102(g) in view of the IBM Process A
prior art. On October 5, 2009,
complainants, respondents, and the
Commission investigative attorney
(‘‘IA’’) filed petitions for review of the
final ID. Also, four separate petitions for
review were filed on the same date by
respondents Grace, IDT, Tower/Jazz,
and Nanya/Powerchip/Spansion. The
IA, complainants, and respondents filed
responses to the other parties’ petitions
on October 13, 2009.
Upon considering the parties’ filings,
the Commission has determined to
review-in-part the ID. Specifically, the
Commission has determined to review:
(1) Invalidity of claims 1, 3, and 4 of the
‘335 patent under 35 U.S.C. 102(g) & 103
with respect to the IBM Process A, IBM
Process B, and AMD prior art; and (2)
Jazz’s stipulation regarding whether its
process meets the complete, third
recited step of claim 1, i.e., ‘‘depositing
a tungsten layer by chemical vapor
deposition, said tungsten layer covering
said glue layer on said dielectric and
said exposed material.’’ The
Commission has determined not to
review the remainder of the ID.
In addition, the Commission has
determined to issue an order remanding
the investigation to the ALJ for further
proceedings relating to whether claim 4
is rendered obvious by IBM Process A
in light of the other prior art asserted by
respondents.
The Commission has instructed the
ALJ to make his determination on
remand at the earliest practicable time,
and to extend the target date of the
above-captioned investigation as he
deems necessary to accommodate the
remand proceedings. The parties are
invited to file written submissions on
the ALJ’s remand determination within
fourteen days after service of the ALJ’s
determination and to file responses to
the written submissions within seven
days after service of the written
submissions. The Commission also
requests briefing on remedy, the public
interest, and bonding from the parties,
consistent with these submission dates,
as described in detail below.

In connection with the final
disposition of this investigation, the
Commission may issue an order that
results in the exclusion of the subject
articles from entry into the United
States. Accordingly, the Commission is
interested in receiving written
submissions that address the form of
remedy, if any, that should be ordered.
If a party seeks exclusion of an article
from entry into the United States for
purposes other than entry for
consumption, the party should so
indicate and provide information
establishing that activities involving
other types of entry either are adversely
affecting it or likely to do so. For
background, see In the Matter of Certain
Devices for Connecting Computers via
Telephone Lines, Inv. No. 337–TA–360,
USITC Pub. No. 2843 (December 1994)
(Commission Opinion).
When the Commission contemplates
some form of remedy, it must consider
the effects of that remedy upon the
public interest. The factors the
Commission will consider include the
effect that an exclusion order and/or
cease and desist orders would have on
(1) the public health and welfare, (2)
competitive conditions in the U.S.
economy, (3) U.S. production of articles
that are like or directly competitive with
those that are subject to investigation,
and (4) U.S. consumers. The
Commission is therefore interested in
receiving written submissions that
address the aforementioned public
interest factors in the context of this
investigation.
When the Commission orders some
form of remedy, the U.S. Trade
Representative, as delegated by the
President, has 60 days to approve or
disapprove the Commission’s action.
See section 337(j), 19 U.S.C. 1337(j) and
the Presidential Memorandum of July
21, 2005, 70 FR 43251 (July 26, 2005).
During this period, the subject articles
would be entitled to enter the United
States under bond, in an amount
determined by the Commission. The
Commission is therefore interested in
receiving submissions concerning the
amount of the bond that should be
imposed if a remedy is ordered.
Written Submissions: Parties to the
investigation, interested government
agencies, and any other interested
parties are encouraged to file written
submissions on the issues of remedy,
the public interest, and bonding, and
such submissions should address the
recommended determination by the ALJ
on remedy and bonding. The
complainant and the IA are also
requested to submit proposed remedial
orders for the Commission’s
consideration. Complainant is also
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

requested to state the date that the
patent at issue expires and the HTSUS
numbers under which the accused
articles are imported. The written
submissions and proposed remedial
orders, and any reply submissions, must
be filed consistent with the dates stated
above relating to the remand ID. No
further submissions on these issues will
be permitted unless otherwise ordered
by the Commission.
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 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 210.42–46 of the Commission’s
Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR
