Although the ITC\u2019s vote on Friday was to continue the case, the underlying ITC investigation shows that Micron cannot prove that is it injured by Korean DRAMs.<\/p>\n<p>hynix says it is not surprised at all by the U.S. International Trade Commission\u2019s decision to make a preliminary affirmative injury determination in the U.S. DRAM anti-subsidy case. The vast majority \u2014 over 85% \u2014 of all the U.S. ITC\u2019s preliminary determinations are affirmative. The reason is that the ITC makes its preliminary determination in very short time period \u2014 just 45 days after the petition is filed \u2014 and because the legal standard at this stage of the case is very low.<\/p>\n<p>Under the law, the ITC must issue an affirmative preliminary determination, and allow the case to continue, as long as it finds only a \u201creasonable indication\u201d of material injury by reason of the targeted imports. Because of this low standard and the quick time in which a preliminary decision must be made, in practice, the ITC will generally render an affirmative preliminary determination any time there is some confusion with respect to the facts that make it appropriate to allow the case to continue to a full investigation. Essentially, under the legal standard at this stage of the case, the petitioner (Micron) is given the benefit of the doubt.<\/p>\n<p>For the ITC\u2019s final determination, however, Micron will not be given the benefit of the doubt. Rather, for its final determination \u2014 expected in June \u2014 the ITC will hold Micron to a much higher standard. hynix fully expects that in its final ruling the ITC will render a negative determination. Once the ITC has time to examine properly all the relevant facts, hynix is confident that the ITC will agree that Micron cannot demonstrate that the U.S. \u201cDRAM industry suffered material injury caused by allegedly subsidized shipments from Korea. \u201cI have no doubt at all\u201d says hynix CEO Sang Park \u201cthat at the end of its full investigation the ITC will conclude that Micron cannot prove its claims and will throw the case out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SEOUL, Korea, December 14, 2002 hynix announced that the ITC preliminary investigation lays foundation for eventual victory.
