Murata Requests To Drop Patent From Investigation No. 692
Complainant Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Murata Electronics North America, Inc. ("Murata") filed a motion with ALJ Gildea to partially terminate the investigation as to U.S. Patent No. 6,377,439 B1 (" '439 patent") in Inv. No. 337-TA-692, In the Matter of Certain Ceramic Capacitors and Products Containing Same. In its motion, Murata rerquested that the Court quickly grant its motion for partial termination with regard to the '439 patent, so that the parties can be more precise and conscise in their pre-hearing submissions due June 25, 2010. This quick consideration, Murata argues, would also likely have the effect of rendering Respondents' pending summary determination motion regarding non-infringment of the '439 patent moot.
