SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on January 6, 2005, based on a 

complaint filed on behalf of BIAX 

Corporation (‘‘BIAX’’), of Boulder, 

Colorado (70 FR 1277). The complaint 

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 digital processors, digital 

processing systems, components 

thereof, and products containing same 

by reason of infringement of certain 

claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,487,755 

(‘‘the ’755 patent’’); 5,021,954 (‘‘the ’954 

patent’’); 5,517,628; 6,253,313; and 

5,765,037. The notice of investigation 

named Texas Instruments, Inc. (‘‘TI’’), of 

Dallas, Texas; iBiquity Digital 

Corporation, of Columbia, Maryland; 

Kenwood Corporation, of Japan; and 

Kenwood U.S.A. Corporation, of Long 

Beach, California as respondents. 

On April 12, 2005, respondent TI filed 

a motion for summary determination of 

non-infringement of the asserted claims 

of the ’755 and ’945 patents. On May 20, 

2005, complainant BIAX filed its 

opposition to TI’s motion for summary 

determination. On May 23, 2005, the 

Commission’s investigative attorney 

filed an opposition to TI’s motion for 

summary determination. 

On July 12, 2005, the administrative 

law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued an ID, Order 

No. 18, granting respondent TI’s motion 

for summary determination of noninfringement of the asserted claims of 

the ’755 and ’945 patents. On July 19, 

2005, complainant BIAX filed a petition 

for review of Order No. 18. 

On July 20, 2005, the parties filed a 

joint motion to extend the deadline for 

filing responses to BIAX’s petition for 

review of Order No. 18 until August 10, 

2005, and to extend the deadline for the 

Commission to determine whether to 

review Order No. 18 until August 30, 

2005. On July 22, 2005, the Chairman 

extended the deadline for filing 

responses to the BIAX’s petition for 

review of Order No. 18 until August 10, 

2005. 

On August 1, 2005, the Commission 

determined to extend the deadline for 

determining whether to review the 

Order No. 18, granting respondent TI’s 

motion for summary determination of 

non-infringement of the asserted claims 

of the ’755 and ’945 patents, by 30 days, 

i.e., until September 12, 2005. 

On August 3, 2004, complainant BIAX 

and respondents filed a joint motion to 

terminate the investigation based on a 

license agreement between BIAX and 

respondent TI. The Commission 

investigative attorney supported the 

joint motion. 

On August 8, 2005, the presiding ALJ 

issued the subject ID (Order No. 23) 

granting the joint motion to terminate 

the investigation based on a license 

agreement between BIAX and 

respondent TI. No party filed a petition 

to review the subject ID. The 

Commission has determined not to 

review ALJ Order No. 23. 

This action is taken under the 

authority of section 337 of the Tariff Act 

of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and § 210.42 of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

17, 2004, the Commission instituted an 

investigation under section 337 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, based 

on a complaint filed by Linear 

Technology Corporation of Milpitas, 

California (‘‘Linear’’) alleging a violation 

of section 337 in the importation, sale 

for importation, and sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain voltage regulator circuits, 

components thereof and products 

containing same by reason of 

infringement of claims 1–6, 31, 34–35, 

41, 44–48, and 51–57 of U.S. Patent No. 

5, 481,178 (‘‘the ‘‘178 patent’’), and 

claims 1–19, 31, 34, and 35 of U.S. 

Patent No. 6,580,258. 69 FR 51104 

(August 17, 2004). The complainant 

named Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. 

of Los Gatos, California as respondent. 

On March 16, 2005, the ALJ issued an 

initial determination (‘‘ID’’) (Order No. 

12) extending the target date in the 

above-referenced investigation. The 

extension of the target date was 

necessary due to the previous 

postponement of the hearing due to the 

unavailability of witnesses. The ALJ 

determined that the target date for this 

investigation should be set at 18 months 

from institution, i.e., February 17, 2006. 

No party petitioned for review of the ID, 

the Commission declined to review it, 

and it therefore became the 

determination of the Commission. 

The hearing, which had been 

scheduled to commence on June 22, 

2005, could not be held as scheduled. 

The ALJ issued Order No. 15 on July 27, 

2005, rescheduling the hearing for 

October 5, 2005. On August 10, 2005, 

the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 6) 

extending the target date for completion 

of the investigation until June 14, 2006. 

No party petitioned for review of the 

ID and the Commission has determined 

not to review the ID, permitting it to 

become the determination of the 

Commission. 

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 

section 210.42 of the Commission’s 

Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 

210.42). 

Issued: August 31, 2005.
