Background 

The Commission instituted these 

investigations effective August 22, 2007, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

Tronox LLC, Oklahoma City, OK. The 

final phase of the investigations was 

scheduled by the Commission following 

notification of preliminary 

determinations by Commerce that 

imports of EMD from Australia and 

China were being sold at LTFV within 

the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 

scheduling of the final phase of the 

Commission’s investigations and of a 

public hearing to be held in connection 

therewith was given by posting copies 

of the notice in the Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC, and by 

publishing the notice in the Federal 

Register of April 30, 2008 (73 FR 

23491). The hearing was held in 

Washington, DC, on July 24, 2008, and 

all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determinations in these investigations to 

the Secretary of Commerce on 

September 25, 2008. The views of the 

Commission are contained in USITC 

Publication 4036 (September 2008),

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on March 22, 2006 based on a complaint 

filed by Linear Technology Corporation 

(‘‘Linear’’) of Milpitas, California. 71 FR 

14545 (March 22, 2006). The complaint, 

as supplemented, alleged violations of 

section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(‘‘section 337’’) in the importation into 

the United States, the sale for 

importation, and the sale within the 

United States after importation of 

certain voltage regulators, components 

thereof and products containing the 

same by reason of infringement of 

claims 1–14 and 23–25 of U.S. Patent 

No. 6,411,531 (‘‘the ‘531 patent’’) and 

claims 1–19, 31, 34, and 35 of U.S. 

Patent No. 6,580,258 (‘‘the ‘258 patent’’). 

The complaint further alleged that an 

industry in the United States exists as 

required by subsection (a)(2) of section 

337. The complaint named Advanced 

Analogic Technologies, Inc. (‘‘AATI’’) of 

Sunnyvale, California as the sole 

respondent. Several claims were 

terminated during the investigation, and 

only claims 4, 9, and 26 of the ‘531 

patent and claims 2, 3, 34, and 35 of the 

‘258 patent were adjudicated. 

On May 22, 2007, the presiding 

administrative law judge (‘‘ALJ’’) issued 

a final initial determination (‘‘ID’’), 

finding no violation of section 337. 

Specifically, the ALJ found that none of 

AATI’s accused products directly 

infringed the asserted claims of the ‘258 

patent, but that one accused product 

directly infringed claims 4 and 26 of the 

‘531 patent. The ALJ found no indirect 

infringement of the asserted claims of 

either patent. As to validity, the ALJ 

determined that claim 35 of the ‘258 

patent and claims 4, 9, and 26 of the 

‘531 patent were invalid due to 

anticipation, rejecting other arguments 

of invalidity, unenforceability, and 

estoppel. The ALJ also determined that 

a domestic industry existed with regard 

to the ‘258 patent, but not with regard 

to the ‘531 patent, because of a failure 

to meet the technical prong of the 

domestic industry requirement. 

On July 24, 2007, the Commission 

determined to review certain issues 

regarding the ‘258 patent, but 

determined not to review the ALJ’s ID 

regarding the ‘531 patent (except for one 

issue on which it took no position), 

resulting in a final determination of no 

violation with respect to the ‘531 patent. 

On September 24, 2007, after review, 

the Commission issued its final 

determination in the investigation with 

respect to the ‘258 patent, reversing the 

ALJ on certain issues and finding a 

violation of section 337. Specifically, 

the Commission found claims 2, 3, and 

34 of the ‘258 patent valid and infringed 

by one representative product of AATI. 

The Commission issued a limited 

exclusion order directed to AATI with 

regard to voltage regulators covered by 

claims 2, 3, and 34 of the ‘258 patent. 

The Commission also determined that 

the public interest factors enumerated in 

19 U.S.C. 1337(d) did not preclude 

issuance of the limited exclusion order, 

and that the bond during the 

Presidential review period would be 100 

percent of the entered value of each 

voltage regulator that is subject to the 

order. 

Linear filed a complaint on February 

20, 2008, an amended complaint on 

June 18, 2008, and a second amended 

complaint on August 29, 2008, 

requesting that the Commission institute 

a formal enforcement proceeding against 

AATI under Commission rule 210.75 for 

violation of the limited exclusion order. 

Having examined the amended 

enforcement complaint, and having 

found it complies with the requirements 

for institution of a formal enforcement 

proceeding contained in Commission 

rule 210.75, the Commission has 

determined to institute a formal 

enforcement proceeding to determine 

whether AATI is in violation of the 

Commission’s limited exclusion order 

issued in the investigation, and what, if 

any, enforcement measures are 

appropriate. 

The following entities are named as 

parties to the formal enforcement 

proceeding: (1) Complainant Linear, (2) 

respondent AATI, and (3) a Commission 

investigative attorney to be designated 

by the Director, Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations.
