SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade 
Commission has determined not to review an initial determination 
(``ID'') (Order No. 4) issued by the presiding administrative law judge 
(``ALJ'') granting complainant's motion to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation to reflect a corporate name change in the 
above-referenced investigation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on July 11, 2011, based on a complaint filed by OSRAM GmbH of Munich, 
Germany. 76 FR 40745 (Jul. 11, 2011). The complaint alleged 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 
light-emitting diodes and products containing the same by reason of 
infringement of various claims of United States Patent Nos. 6,812,500; 
7,078,732; 7,126,162; 7,345,317; 7,629,621; 6,459,130; 6,927,469; 
7,199,454; and 7,427,806. The respondents named in the Commission's 
notice of investigation are LG Electronics, Inc. and LG Innotek Co., 
Ltd., both of Seoul, South Korea; LG Electronics U.S.A., Inc. of 
Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey; and LG Innotek U.S.A., Inc. of San Diego, 
California.
    On August 31, 2011, complainant moved to amend the complaint and 
notice of investigation to reflect a recent change of its corporate 
name from OSRAM GmbH to OSRAM AG. According to complainant, good cause 
exists to permit the amendment and no party will be prejudiced. No 
responses to the motion were filed. On September 2, 2011, the ALJ 
issued the subject ID (Order No. 4). The ALJ explained that Commission 
Rule 210.14(b)(1) (19 CFR 210.14(b)(1)) provides for amendment of the 
complaint only by leave of the Commission for good cause, when and upon 
such conditions as are necessary to avoid prejudicing the public 
interest and the rights of the parties to the investigation. The ALJ 
found that good cause exists for the requested amendment and that it is 
unlikely that the amendment would prejudice the other parties or the 
public. None of the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
    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 Part 210 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 
part 210).


    By order of the Commission.
