AGENCY: International Trade Commission.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade
Commission has determined not to review the presiding administrative
law judge's (ALJ's) initial determination (ID) (Order No. 24) in the
above-captioned investigation terminating the investigation on the
basis of a settlement agreement.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark D. Kelly, Esq., Office of the
General Counsel, U.S. International Trade Commission, telephone 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This patent-based section 337 investigation
was instituted by the Commission on February 22, 1996, on behalf of
Texas Instruments Incorporated, Dallas, Texas. 61 FR 6863. The
complaint alleged violations of section 337 in the importation into the
United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United
States after importation of certain electronic products, including
semiconductor products, that are manufactured, produced, and assembled
using processes that are covered by claims 1-8 or 9 of U.S. Letters
Patent 4,884,674; claims 1-6 or 7 of U.S. Letters Patent 5,216,613; or
claims 1-14 or 15 of U.S. Letters Patent 4,490,209; and that there
existed an industry in the United States as required by subsection
(a)(2) of section 337. The notice of investigation named Samsung
Electronics Company, Ltd., Seoul, Korea and Samsung America, Inc.,
Ridgefield Park, New Jersey as respondents.
On December 23, 1996, the parties to the investigation, pursuant to
Commission rule 210.21(a)(1) and (b)(1), filed a joint motion to
terminate the investigation as to all issues based upon a settlement
agreement. On January 30, 1997, the presiding ALJ granted the joint
motion and issued an ID (Order No. 24) terminating the investigation on
the basis of the settlement agreement. The ALJ found that there is no
indication that termination of the investigation would have an adverse
impact on the public interest and that termination based on settlement
is generally in the public interest. No petitions for review were
filed.
This action is taken under the authority of section 337 of the
Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, and Commission rule 210.42, 19 CFR
210.42.
Copies of the public version of the ALJ's ID, and all other
nonconfidential documents filed in connection with this investigation,
are or will be available for inspection during official business hours
(8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m.) in the Office of the Secretary, U.S.
International Trade Commission, 500 E Street SW., Washington, DC 20436,
telephone 202-205-2000. Hearing-impaired persons are advised that
information on the matter can be obtained by contacting the
Commission's TDD terminal on 202-205-1810.
Issued: February 27, 1997.
By order of the Commission.
Donna R. Koehnke,
Secretary.
