Scope of Investigation

    Having considered the complaint, the U.S. International Trade 
Commission, on May 21, 2001, Ordered That--
    (1) Pursuant to subsection (b) of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended, an investigation be instituted to determine whether 
there is a violation of subsection (a)(1)(B) of section 337 in the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain digital 
display receivers or digital display controllers or products containing 
same by reason of infringement of claims 1-12, 14, or 20 of U.S. 
Letters Patent 5,905,769 and whether an industry in the United States 
exists as required by subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
    (2) For the purpose of the investigation so instituted, the 
following are hereby named as parties upon which this notice of 
investigation shall be served:
    (a) The complainant is--Silicon Image, Inc., 1060 East Arques 
Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94086.
    (b) The respondents are the following companies alleged to be in 
violation of section 337, and are the parties upon which the complaint 
is to be served:

    (c) T. Spence Chubb, Esq., Office of Unfair Import Investigations, 
U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW., Room 401, 
Washington, DC 20436, who shall be the Commission investigative 
attorney, party to this investigation; and
    (3) For the investigation so instituted, the Honorable Paul J. 
Luckern is designated as the presiding administrative law judge.
    Responses to the complaint and the notice of investigation must be 
submitted by the named respondents in accordance with section 210.13 of

of investigation. Extensions of time for submitting responses to the 
complaint will not be granted unless good cause therefor is shown.
    Failure of a respondent to file a timely response to each 
allegation in the complaint and in this notice may be deemed to 
constitute a waiver of the right to appear and contest the allegations 
of the complaint and to authorize the administrative law judge and the 
Commission, without further notice to that respondent, to find the 
facts to be as alleged in the complaint and this notice and to enter 
both an initial determination and a final determination containing such 
findings, and may result in the issuance of a limited exclusion order 
or a cease and desist order or both directed against that respondent.

    Issued: May 22, 2001.

    By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
