Public interest comments are due to the International Trade Commission by Oct. 24 on a potential Section 337 investigation regarding imported electronics and semiconductors. The request for comments follows an Oct. 6 complaint by Bell Semiconductor, which alleged that NXP Semiconductors, SMCNetworks, Micron Technology, NVIDIA, AMD, Acer, Infineon Technologies, Qualcomm, Motorola Mobility and Western Digital Technologies are infringing on two of Bell's patents by importing electronic equipment that infringes on two integrated circuit design patents held by Bell. Bell asked the ITC to institute a limited exclusion order forbidding entry of infringing products by the respondents and cease and desist orders.

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on magnesia carbon bricks from China (A-570-954). Commerce continued its preliminary finding that 30 companies subject to the review did not demonstrate independence from state control, assigning them the China-wide AD rate of 236%. Commerce will assess antidumping duties at this rate on subject merchandise from these 30 companies entered Sept. 1, 2020, through Aug. 31, 2021. A 236% AD cash deposit rate takes effect for each of these 30 companies on Oct. 13, the date these final results were published in the Federal Register.
The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from South Korea (A-580-887).

Commerce said it made several changes to the calculation used in the preliminary results for the lone mandatory respondent POSCO (as a single entity, including affiliates), which reduced the AD rate slightly from 2.8%.
