the United States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the 
United States after importation of certain 3G wideband code division

    On September 12, 2007, InterDigital filed a motion to substitute 
parties. Specifically, InterDigital moved to substitute one of the co-
complainants, InterDigital Communications Corporation, with

substitute parties, without conditions. No petitions for review were 
filed. The Commission has determined not to review the ALJ's ID.
