SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on January 14, 2009, based on a complaint filed by O2 Micro 
International, Ltd. of the Cayman Islands and O2 Micro, Inc. of Santa 
Clara, California. 74 FR 2099. The complaint alleges 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 cold cathode 
fluorescent lamp inverter circuits and products containing the same by 
reason of infringement of various U.S. patents. The complaint names ten 
respondents, including Monolithic Power Systems Inc. of San Jose, 
California (``MPS''); Microsemi Corporation of Irvine, California 
(``Microsemi''); ASUSTeK Computer Inc. of Taipei, Taiwan and ASUS 
Computer International America of Fremont, California (collectively, 
``ASUS'').
    On April 19, 2010, the ALJ issued his final ID finding no violation 
of section 337 in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
CCFL inverter circuits and products containing the same by reason of 
infringement of U.S. Patent 7,417,382 (``the `382 patent''). The 
Commission investigative attorney (``IA''), complainant O2 Micro, 
respondents MPS and ASUS, and respondent Microsemi each filed petitions 
for review of the ID on May 3, 2010. The IA, O2 Micro, respondents MPS 
and ASUS, and respondent Microsemi each filed responses to the 
petitions for review on May 11, 2010.
    Having examined the record of this investigation, including the 
ALJ's final ID, the petitions for review, and the responses thereto, 
the Commission has determined to review the final ID in part. In 
particular, the Commission has determined to review (1) the ID's 
findings that the LX1691 and LX1693 Microsemi products infringe the 
asserted claims of the `382 patent, and (2) the ID's finding that O2 
Micro has not satisfied the domestic industry requirement.
    Upon review, the Commission has determined to (1) reverse the ALJ's 
findings that the LX1691 and LX1693 Microsemi products infringe the 
asserted claims of the `382 patent, and (2) reverse the ALJ's 
determination that O2 Micro has not satisfied the domestic industry 
requirement. The Commission has determined that neither MPS, ASUS, nor 
Microsemi have violated section 337, and has terminated the 
investigation. A Commission opinion will issue shortly.
    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 210.42-50 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42-50).

    Issued: June 18, 2010.

    By order of the Commission.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
