Commission Affirms Finding Of No Violation in Inv. No. 666
After review, the Commission affirmed the Initial Determination of no violation of Section 337 in Inv. No. 337-TA-666, Certain Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp ("CCFL") Inverter Circuits and Products Containing Same. The Commission reviewed two findings in the Initial Determination, namely, (1) the finding that certain Microsemi products infringe the asserted claims of U.S. Patent No. 7,417,382 and (2) the finding that Complainant, O2 Micro, has not satisfied the domestic industry requirement. The Commission, upon review, reversed the ALJ's findings in both respects. The Commission held that the Microsemi products do not infringe the '382 patent and that O2 Micro has satisfied the domestic industry requirement. A Commission opinion will issue shortly.
