Having considered the complaint, the U.S. International Trade
Commission, on December 3, 2001, Ordered That--
(1) Pursuant to subsection (b) of section 337 of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended, an investigation be instituted to determine whether
there is a violation of subsection (a)(1)(B) of section 337 in the
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, or the
sale within the United States after importation of certain
semiconductor timing signal generator devices, components thereof, and
products containing same, by reason of infringement of claim 9 of U.S.
Letters Patent 5,036,216 or claim 6 of U.S. Letters Patent 5,703,537,
and whether an industry in the United States exists as required by
subsection (a)(2) of section 337.
(2) For the purpose of the investigation so instituted, the
following are hereby named as parties upon which this notice of
investigation shall be served:
(a) The complainant is: Integrated Circuit Systems, Inc., 2435
Boulevard of the Generals, Valley Forge, Pennsylvania 19428.
(b) The respondent is the following company alleged to be in
violation of section 337, and is the party upon which the complaint is
to be served: Cypress Semiconductor Corp., 3901 North First Street, San
Jose, California 95134.
(c) Jeffrey R. Whieldon, Esq., Office of Unfair Import
Investigations, U.S. International Trade Commission, 500 E Street, SW.,
Room 401, Washington, DC 20436, who shall be the Commission
investigative attorney, party to this investigation;
(3) For the investigation so instituted, the Honorable Paul J.
Luckern is designated as the presiding administrative law judge; and
(4) The Commission has determined to assign this investigation to
Judge Luckern, who is the presiding administrative law judge in Certain
Power Saving Integrated Circuits and Products Containing Same, Inv. No.
337-TA-463, in view of the overlapping subject matter in the two
investigations. The presiding administrative law judge is authorized to
consolidate Inv. No. 337-TA-463 and this investigation if he deems it
appropriate.
Responses to the complaint and the notice of investigation must be
submitted by the named respondent in accordance with section 210.13 of
the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.13.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 201.16(d) and 210.13(a), such responses will be
considered by the Commission if received no later than 20 days after
the date of service by the Commission of the complaint and the notice
of investigation. Extensions of time for submitting responses to the
complaint will not be granted unless good cause therefor is shown.
Failure of a respondent to file a timely response to each
allegation in the complaint and in this notice may be deemed to
constitute a waiver of the right to appear and contest the allegations
of the complaint and to authorize the administrative law judge and the
Commission, without further notice to that respondent, to find the
facts to be as alleged in the complaint and this notice and to enter
both an initial determination and a final determination containing such
findings, and may result in the issuance of a limited exclusion order
or a cease and desist order or both directed against that respondent.
By order of the Commission.
