Initial Determination and Motion for an Entry of Default Granted
ALJ Essex found two respondents to be in default pursuant to 19 CFR §§ 210.16(a)(1) and 210.17 in Inv. No. 337-TA-630, In the Matter of Certain Semiconductor Chips with Minimized Chip Package Size and Products Containing Same. ALJ Essex found that two respondents (TwinMOS Technologies Inc. and TwinMOS Technologies USA Inc.) had failed to show that they should not be found in default for failure to respond to the Complaint and Notice of Investigation. TwinMOS’s only response was a letter stating that TwinMOS is a “memory module house” and “not in a position to involve in the patent litigation matters or to be liable to the charge.” Both companies filed to participate in the investigation in its entirety and as a result ALJ Essex entered an initial determination of default for these two companies.(PDF)
