- In re Certain Semiconductor Chips with Minimized Chip Package Size and Products Containing Same, U.S.I.T.C. Inv. No. 337-TA-432. Represented complainant Tessera Technologies, Inc. in action involving allegations that Texas Instruments and Sharp Corporation manufactured and imported semiconductor devices in "chip scale packages" ("CSPs") that infringed two Tessera patents. Although TI was dismissed from the ITC based on a forum selection clause, TI ultimately settled and agreed to pay Tessera royalties on TI's CSPs. Led the effort to demonstrate infringement by Sharp's CSPs, and examined Tessera's expert on infringement when the Investigation proceeded to a three-week trial against Sharp in April 2001. Tessera obtained a completely favorable Initial Determination from the Administrative Law Judge; the Commission affirmed. Sharp settled and agreed to pay royalties on its CSPs shortly before the ITC would have entered an exclusion order barring Sharp's CSPs from entering the United States.
