WASHINGTON – The US International Trade Commission said it would review a judge’s final initial determination issued Aug. 28, in which no violations of certain Tessera patents were found.
 
The complaint, which Tessera initially filed in January 2008, alleges violations against its patents involving importation of certain semiconductors of minimal package size.
 
The complaint originally named 18 respondents. The following remain in the investigation: Acer and Acer America; Centon Electronics; Elpida Memory and Elpida Memory (USA); Kingston Technology; Nanya Technology and Nanya Technology Corp. USA; Powerchip Semiconductor; ProMOS Technologies; Ramaxel Technology; Smart Modular Technologies.
 
The parties are requested to brief their positions on the issues under review; the commission is interested in receiving written submissions that address the form of remedy, if any, that should be ordered.
 
Written submissions and proposed remedial orders are requested by Nov. 13.
