complaint filed by SLED. 76 FR 51396-97 (Aug. 18, 2011). A corrected 
Notice of Investigation was issued on August 16, 2011, indicating that 
the Office of Unfair Import Investigations will not participate as a 
party in this investigation. 76 FR 52348-49 (Aug. 22, 2011). The 
complaint 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 light-emitting diodes and products containing 
same by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 
7,268,372; 7,282,741; 7,771,081; 7,893,443; 7,838,315; 7,959,312; and 
7,964,881. The complaint further alleges the existence of a domestic 
industry. The Commission's notice of investigation named as respondents 
OSRAM GmbH of Munich, Germany (``OSRAM GmbH''); OSRAM Opto 
Semiconductors GmbH of Regensburg, Germany; OSRAM Opto Semiconductors 
Inc. of Sunnyvale, California; and OSRAM Sylvania Inc. of Danvers, 
Massachusetts (collectively ``OSRAM'').
    On October 18, 2011, SLED filed a motion to amend the Complaint and 
NOI to: (1) Change the name of respondent OSRAM GmbH to OSRAM AG to 
reflect its recent change in corporate form; (2) add Siemens AG, 
Siemens Corporation, and Siemens Industry, Inc. (collectively 
``Siemens'') as respondents; and (3) add Hella KGaA Hueck & Co., Hella 
Electronics Corporation, Hella Corporate Center USA, Inc., and Hella 
Inc. (collectively ``Hella'') as respondents. On October 28, 2011, 
OSRAM and proposed respondents Siemens and Hella filed oppositions to 
the motion with respect to adding Siemens and Hella as respondents.
    On November 21, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting-in-
part SLED's motion with respect to changing the name of respondent 
OSRAM GmbH to OSRAM AG. The ALJ denied the remainder of the motion. No 
petitions for review of this ID were filed.
    The Commission has determined not to review the 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.
