`SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation on

`Infineon Technologies Austria AG (collectively, “Complainants”). 89 FR 70667-68 (Aug. 30,
`2024). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of
`1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 1337, in the importation into the United States, the sale for
`importation, or the sale within the United States after importation of certain semiconductor
`devices and products containing the same by reason of infringement of claims 1-4, 6, 9, and 17
`of U.S. Patent No. 9,899,481 (“the ’481 patent”); claims 1, 2, 8-10, and 13-15 of the ’562 patent;
`claims 1-4, 8, and 9 of U.S. Patent No. 9,070,755; and claims 1, 2, and 10 of U.S. Patent No.
`
`

`

`8,264,003 (“the ’003 patent”). Id. at 70667. The complaint further alleges that a domestic
`industry exists. Id. The Commission’s notice of investigation named as respondents Innoscience
`(Suzhou) Technology Company, Ltd., of Lili Town, China; Innoscience (Suzhou) Semiconductor
`Co., Ltd., of Lili Town, China; Innoscience (Zhuhai) Technology Company, Ltd., of Guangdong,
`China; and Innoscience America, Inc., of Santa Clara, California (collectively, “Respondents”).
`Id. The Office of Unfair Import Investigations is not participating in the investigation. Id.
`
`On November 4, 2024, the Commission determined not to review an initial determination
`
`granting Complainants’ unopposed motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation to
`correct the corporate title of Respondent Innoscience (Suzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. to
`Innoscience (Suzhou) Technology Holding Co., Ltd. See Order No. 7, unreviewed by Comm’n
`Notice (Nov. 4, 2024). On April 29, 2025, the Commission determined not to review an initial
`determination granting Complainant’s unopposed motion to terminate the investigation as to all
`asserted claims of the ’003 patent and claim 9 of the ’481 patent. See Order No. 27, unreviewed
`by Comm’n Notice (Apr. 29, 2025).
`
`Also on April 29, 2025, Complainants filed an unopposed motion to terminate the
`
`investigation as to all asserted claims of the ’562 patent. No responses to the unopposed motion
`were filed.
`
`
`On April 30, 2025, the ALJ issued the subject ID (Order No. 46), granting Complainants’
`unopposed motion to terminate the investigation as to the specified claims. The subject ID finds
`that the motion meets the requirements of Commission Rule 210.21(a) (19 CFR 210.21(a)), and
`that there are no extraordinary circumstances that would prevent the requested partial termination
`of the investigation. No petitions for review of the ID were filed.
`
`
`The Commission has determined not to review the subject ID. All asserted claims of the
`’562 patent are hereby terminated from the investigation.
`
`
`The Commission vote for this determination took place on May 20, 2025.
`
`The authority for the Commission’s determination is contained in section 337 of the
`Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in Part 210 of the Commission’s Rules of
`Practice and Procedure (19 CFR Part 210).
`
`By order of the Commission.
