SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

on January 4, 2011, based on a
complaint filed by Rambus Inc. of
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00073
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
27249
Sunnyvale, California (‘‘Rambus’’),
alleging a violation of section 337 in the
importation, sale for importation, and
sale within the United States after
importation of certain semiconductor
chips and products containing the same.
76 FR 384 (Jan. 4, 2011). The complaint
alleged the infringement of various
claims of patents including U.S. Patent
Nos. 6,470,405; 6,591,353; 7,287,109
(collectively, ‘‘the Barth patents’’); and
Nos. 7,602,857; and 7,715,494
(collectively, ‘‘the Dally patents’’). The
Barth patents share a common
specification, as do the Dally patents.
The notice of investigation named as
respondents Freescale Semiconductor of
Austin, Texas (‘‘Freescale’’); Broadcom
Corp. of Irvine, California
(‘‘Broadcom’’); LSI Corporation of
Milpitas, California (‘‘LSI’’); Mediatek
Inc. of Hsin-Chu, Taiwan (‘‘Mediatek’’);
NVIDIA Corp. of Santa Clara, California
(‘‘NVIDIA’’); STMicroelectronics N.V. of
Geneva, Switzerland; and
STMicroelectronics Inc. of Carrollton,
Texas (collectively, ‘‘STMicro’’), as well
as approximately twenty customers of
one or more of these respondents.
The investigation has since been
terminated against many of the
respondents on the basis of Rambus’s
settlements with Broadcom, Freescale,
and NVIDIA. Following the ALJ’s
issuance of the ID, Rambus settled its
dispute with Mediatek. On March 16,
2012, Rambus, Mediatek, and
Mediatek’s customer-respondents Audio
Partnership PLC and Oppo Digital, Inc.,
moved to terminate the investigation as
to Mediatek and these two customers.
No oppositions were filed. The
Commission has determined to grant the
motion, terminating the investigation as
to these three respondents.
LSI and STMicro are the only two
manufacturer respondents remaining.
With them as respondents are their
customers Asustek Computer, Inc. and
Asus Computer International, Inc.; Cisco
Systems, Inc. (‘‘Cisco’’); Garmin
International Inc.; Hewlett-Packard
Company; Hitachi Global Storage
Technologies; and Seagate Technology.
On March 2, 2012, the ALJ issued the
final ID. The ID found no violation of
section 337 for several reasons. All of
the asserted claims were found to be
invalid or obvious in view of the prior
art under 35 U.S.C. 102 and 103. The
Barth patents were found to be
unenforceable under the doctrine of
unclean hands by virtue of Rambus’s
destruction of documents. The ID also
found that Rambus had exhausted its
rights under the Barth patents as to
certain products of one respondent. The
ID found that all of the asserted patent
claims were infringed, and rejected
