Commission Issues Final Determination of Section 337 Violation And Limited Exclusion Order
The Commission affirms the ALJ’s findings (with modifications) in Inv. No. 337-TA-629, In the Matter of Certain Silicon Microphone Packages and Products Containing the Same. After reviewing various portions of the final initial determination, the Commission determined to affirm virtually all of the ALJ’s findings. The Commission indicates that, despite the affirmance, modifications would be made to the ALJ’s findings concerning: infringement of U.S. Pat. No. 6,781,231; the ALJ’s finding that claims 1 and 2 of the ’231 patent are not invalid; the ALJ’s construction of “volume” in U.S. Pat. No. 7,0242,089; infringement of the ’089 patent; the ALJ’s finding that the asserted claims of the ’089 patent are not invalid.
The Commission also issued a limited exclusion order prohibiting the unlicensed entry of silicon microphone packages which infringe the asserted claims and that are manufactured abroad by or on behalf of, or are imported by or on behalf of MemsTech. (PDF)
