Zoran and Oak amended their complaint to name the following additional defendants: Asustek Computer, Inc., Lite-On Information Technology Corp., Teac Corporation, Teac America, Inc., Terapin Technology Pte., Ltd. Corporation and Teraoptix L.P. d/b/a Terapin Technology.

Corporation, Teraoptix L.P. d/b/a Terapin Technology and Jiangsu Shinco Electronic Group Co., Ltd and Shinco International AV Co., Ltd. That action requests that the ITC issue exclusion and cease and desist orders prohibiting the importation into the United States of certain MediaTek controller chips and chipsets and of certain products sold by the other respondents that contain the accused MediaTek chips and chipsets.
