Holding

This supplemental complaint, filed by MonolithIC 3D Inc. in response to an OUII request, replaces paragraphs 24 and 59 of its May 11, 2026 Verified Complaint to identify accused product categories and to show that KIOXIA's accused products are imported. It adds no respondents and alleges no additional unfair acts.

Why It Matters

The supplement clarifies the accused product categories (3D NAND, HBM DRAM, SSD, and related memory products) and supports the importation element of a Section 337 violation. It shows the complaint was supplemented at OUII's request, which bears on whether the investigation is instituted. The text does not state the relief sought.
