SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 21, 2005, the Commission instituted 
an investigation under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 
1337, based on a complaint filed by Broadcom Corporation of Irvine, 
California, alleging a violation of section 337 in the importation, 
sale for importation, and sale within the United States after 
importation of certain baseband processor chips and chipsets, 
transmitter and receiver (radio) chips, power control chips, and 
products containing same, including cellular telephone handsets by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,374,311; 
6,714,983; 6,583,675; 5,682,379 (``the `379 patent''); and 6,359,872 
(``the `872 patent''). 70 Fed. Reg. 35707 (June 21, 2005). The 
complainant named Qualcomm Incorporated of San Diego, California 
(``Qualcomm'') as the only respondent. The `379 patent and `872 patent 
have been terminated from this investigation.
    On October 19, 2006, the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') issued an Initial Determination (``ID'') on Violation of 
Section 337 and Recommended Determination (``RD'') on Remedy and Bond, 
finding a violation of section 337. The ID found a violation of section 
337, and the RD recommended a limited exclusion order directed to 
baseband processor chips imported by Qualcomm. On December 8, 2006, the 
Commission issued a notice of its decision to review and upon review to 
modify in part the ALJ's final ID. The modification made by the 
Commission did not change the finding of violation. The Commission also 
requested the parties to the investigation, interested Government 
agencies, and any other interested persons to file written submissions 
on the issues of remedy, the public interest, and bonding.
    On January 25, 2007, respondent Qualcomm moved, inter alia, for 
oral argument and hearing on the issues of remedy and the public 
interest. On March 21-22, 2007, the Commission held a public hearing on 
the issues of remedy and the public interest. The Commission has 
determined to extend the target date for completion of this 
investigation by seventeen (17) days to May 25, 2007.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 19 
U.S.C. 1337, and in section 210.51(h) of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 210.51)).

    By order of the Commission.
    Issued: April 23, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
