SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 26, 1996, Quickturn Design 
Systems, Inc. of Mountain View, California filed a complaint with the 
Commission alleging a violation of section 337 of Tariff Act of 1930 in 
the importation, the sale for importation, and the sale within the 
United States after importation of certain hardware logic emulation 
systems and components thereof by reason of infringement of certain 
U.S. patents owned by Quickturn. Quickturn also filed a motion for 
temporary relief on the same date.
    The Commission instituted an investigation of Quickturn's 
complaint, provisionally accepted its motion for temporary relief, and 
published a notice of investigation in the Federal Register on March 8, 
1996. 61 Fed. Reg. 9486. The notice named Mentor Graphics Corp. of 
Wilsonville, Oregon and Meta Systems of Saclay, France as respondents.
    On May 1, 1996, Bull HN Information Systems, Inc. of Billerica, 
Massachusetts moved to intervene in the permanent relief phase of the 
investigation. The motion was opposed by Quickturn and supported by 
Mentor and Meta. The Commission investigative attorney did not oppose 
the motion.
    On May 14, 1996 the presiding ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 30) 
granting Bull's motion to intervene. Quickturn filed a petition for 
review of the ID, and Mentor, Meta, and Bull filed oppositions to the 
petition.
    This action is taken pursuant to section 337 of the Tariff Act of 
1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. Sec. 1337), and Commission rule 210.42 (19 
C.F.R. Sec. 210.42).
