The ITC, according to SigmaTel (Austin, Texas), said that infringing players containing Actions 207X, 208X and 209X chips should be excluded from entry into the United States.

The ITC re-confirmed that two patents from Actions were valid and infringed. The commission ordered that the infringing Actions chips not be imported into the United States.

The ITC also extended the exclusion order to prohibit the importation of MP3 players, with two GB of memory or less, containing such chips. "The United States Customs Services will assist in enforcing the ban," according to SigmaTel. "MP3 players imported in violation of the ITC's exclusion order may be seized by the U.S. Government and subject to forfeiture."
