In the ruling, the full commission of the ITC found that the patent claims asserted by LSI were invalid and has subsequently terminated the investigation.

“We are pleased with the ITC ruling in this matter. IDT places a great amount of respect and emphasis on the intellectual property of not only our company, but our entire industry,” said Vince Tortolano, vice president and general counsel for IDT.

LSI had alleged that IDT and the other defendants in the action violated section 337 of the Tariff Act which prohibits the importation and sale of infringing products. Based on the finding of invalidity, the ITC Commission held that no violation of section 337 has occurred.
