SAN FRANCISCO—The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) will launch an investigation based on a complaint filed by Elpida Memory Inc. and its U.S. subsidiary against rival DRAM vendor Nanya Technology Corp. and its U.S. subsidiary, the ITC said last month.
The ITC said the investigation is based on a complaint filed by Elpida on Nov. 15, 2011, which alleges violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 in the importation into the United States and sale of certain semiconductor chips with DRAM circuitry and modules and products containing same that infringe patents asserted by the complainants. Elipda requested that the ITC issue an exclusion order and cease and desist orders barring the importation of the Nanya chips, the ITC said.
As is typical, the ITC said it expects to make a final determination in the investigation at the earliest practicable time and that it would set a target date for completion within 45 days of the investigation's launch.
Nanya also filed a complaint against Elipda at the ITC in November, about a week after Elipda filed its complaint against Nanya. It is unclear if the ITC plans to investigate that complaint.
