ITC Asks for Comments on Integrated Circuits Patent Complaint

The International Trade Commission is asking for comments by about Oct. 3 on a patent complaint filed Sept. 19 on behalf of Realtek Semiconductor, which alleges violations of Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the import into the U.S., the sale for import, and the sale within the U.S. after import of certain integrated circuit chips and products containing same (D/N 2915). The complaint names LSI Corporation and Seagate Technology as respondents. The ITC is asking for comments on any public interest issues that might affect ITC consideration, including whether the issuance of an exclusion order and/or cease and desist order would impact the public interest.
