SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission ordered the institution of 
this investigation on September 18, 1998, based on a complaint filed on 
behalf of Micron Technology, Inc., 8000 South Federal Way, Boise, Idaho 
83707-0006 (``complainant''). The notice of investigation was published 
in the Federal Register on September 25, 1998. 63 FR 51372 (1998).
    The presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) issued his final ID on 
November 29, 1999, concluding that there was no violation of section 
337. He found that: (a) Complainant failed to establish the requisite 
domestic industry showing for any of the three patents at issue; (b) 
all asserted claims of the patents are invalid; (c) none of the 
asserted claims of the patents are infringed; and (d) all of the 
patents are unenforceable for inequitable conduct.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 
Sec. 1337), and in section 210.42(h)(2) of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (19 C.F.R. 210.42(h)(2)).
