                    The Commission instituted this investigation on August 31, 2004, based on a complaint filed on behalf of MediaTek Corporation (“complainant”) of Hsin-Chu City, Taiwan. 69 FR 53089 (Aug. 31, 2004). The complaint, as supplemented, alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the United States, sale for importation, and sale within the United States after importation of certain optical disk controller chips and chipsets by reason of infringement of claims 1, 3-6, and 8-10 of U.S. Patent No. 5,970,031 and claims 1-4 of U.S. Patent No. 6,229,773.                     *Id.*                     The notice of investigation named two respondents: Zoran Corporation of Sunnyvale, CA and Oak Technology, Inc. of Sunnyvale, CA (collectively “respondents”).                     *Id.*

                    On September 24, 2004, complainant moved pursuant to Commission rule 210.14(b) to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to add Sunext as a respondent and to add another patent,                     *viz.,*                     claims 1-2, 5-6, 15-19, and 21-22 of the ‘043 patent to the scope of the investigation. On October 6, 2004, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response supporting the motion. On the same day, respondents filed a response opposing the motion.                

On October 7, 2004, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 5) granting the motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation.

No party petitioned for review of the ID.
