SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted Inv. No. 337-TA-
613 on September 11, 2007, based on a complaint filed by InterDigital 
Communications Corporation of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and 
InterDigital Technology Corporation of Wilmington, Delaware 
(collectively, ``InterDigital''). The complaint alleges violations of 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337) in the 
importation into the United States, the sale for importation, and the 
sale within the United States after importation of certain 3G mobile 
handsets and components thereof by reason of infringement of various 
claims in United States Patent Nos. 7,117,004 and 7,190,966. The 
complaint named Nokia Corporation of Finland and Nokia Inc. of Irving, 
Texas as respondents.
    On September 28, 2007, InterDigital filed a motion to amend the 
complaint and notice of investigation to add allegations of unfair 
trade practices in the importation into the United States, the sale for 
importation, and the sale within the United States after importation of 
certain 3G mobile handsets and components thereof by reason of 
infringement of various claims in United States Patent No. 6,973,579 
(``the `579 patent''). The Commission investigative attorney supported 
the motion.
    On October 11, 2007, the ALJ granted InterDigital's motion, finding 
that, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)), 
there was good cause to add the allegations based on the `579 patent. 
No petitions for review were filed. The Commission has determined not 
to review the ALJ's ID.
    The authority for the Commission's determination is contained in 
section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and 
in section 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure 
(19 CFR 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 1, 2007.
Marilyn R. Abbott,
Secretary to the Commission.
