SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 21, 2007, based on a complaint filed by Nokia Inc. of 
Irving, Texas and Nokia Corporation of Espoo, Finland (collectively 
``Nokia''). 72 FR 54069. The complaint, as supplemented, alleges 
violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 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 wireless communication chips and chipsets, and products 
containing same, including wireless handsets and network interface 
cards, by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 
7,236,761; 6,714,091; 6,292,474; 5,896,562; and 5,752,172. The 
complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The 
Commission's notice of investigation named QUALCOMM, Inc. 
(``Qualcomm'') of San Diego, California as the respondent.
    On October 18, 2007, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 5) granting 
respondent's motion to terminate the investigation due to a pending 
arbitration. On October 25, 2007, Nokia filed a petition for review of 
the ALJ's ID. On November 1, 2007, Qualcomm and the Commission 
investigative attorney filed briefs in opposition to Nokia's petition 
for review. The Commission has determined not to review the subject 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 sections 210.21(a)(2) and 210.42(h) of the Commission's Rules of 
Practice and Procedure, 19 CFR 210.21(a)(2), 210.42(h).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 21, 2007.
