The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided not to review an initial ruling that allowed a change in the name of a respondent in an investigation. This investigation concerns the import and sale of certain chemical mechanical planarization slurries allegedly violating patent rights. The change involved updating the legal entity name from Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials, Inc. to Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials CMP, LLC. The Commission believes this update clarifies the investigation without affecting public interest or the involved parties' rights.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to let a company change its official name in an investigation about special liquids used to polish materials, without changing anything else about the case. This is like letting someone change their name on a school form to make sure everyone knows who they are.
