for importation, and the sale within the United States after 
importation of certain protective cases and components thereof by 
reason of infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 
7,933,122; D600,908; D617,784; D615,536; D617,785; D634,741; and

    On July 19, 2011, Otter filed a motion under Commission Rule 
210.14(b), for leave to amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation 
to add Global Cellular, Inc. of Alpharetta, Georgia as respondent. On 
July 29, 2011, the Commission investigative attorney filed a response 
in support of the motion. No other party filed a response.
    On August 3, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting Otter's 
motion pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 CFR 210.14(b)). No 
party petitioned for review of the ID. The Commission has determined 
not to review the ID.
