ITC Remands Investigation to Administrative Law Judge in Amkor Patent Case against Carsem
CHANDLER, Ariz., February 19, 2010 Amkor Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMKR) today announced
that the International Trade Commission has reversed a finding by the Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ) on the issue of whether a certain invention constitutes prior art to Amkors asserted
patents in its patent infringement case against Carsem. The Commission remanded the investigation
to the ALJ to make further findings in light of the Commissions ruling by March 22, 2010, and
extended the target date for completion of the investigation to July 20, 2010.
Although disappointed with the delay, we are confident that Amkors technology and patent rights
for MicroLeadFrame® packaging solutions ultimately will be validated, said Ken Joyce,
Amkors President and Chief Executive Officer.
