Technology Corporation of Wilmington, Delaware; and IPR Licensing, Inc. 
of Wilmington, Delaware (collectively, ``InterDigital''). 76 FR. 54252 
(Aug. 31, 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 wireless devices with 3G 
capabilities and components thereof by reason of infringement of 
certain claims of United States Patent Nos. 7,349,540; 7,502,406; 
7,536,013; 7,616,970; 7,706,332; 7,706,830; and 7,970,127. The

Nokia Corporation of Espoo, Finland; Nokia Inc. of White Plains, New 
York; ZTE Corporation of Guangdong Province, China; and ZTE (USA) Inc. 
of Richardson, Texas.
    On October 5, 2011, InterDigital filed a motion for leave to amend 
the complaint and notice of investigation to allege infringement of 
claims 1-7, 6-9, and 29-31 of recently issued United States Patent No. 
8,009,636 (``the '636 patent'') against all respondents, and to add the 
following entities as respondents: LG Electronics, Inc. of Seoul Korea;

Electronics Mobilecomm U.S.A., Inc. of San Diego, California

    On December 5, 2011, the ALJ issued the subject ID, granting the 
motion. The ALJ found that, pursuant to Commission Rule 210.14(b) (19 
CFR 210.14(b)), good cause exists to amend the complaint and notice of 
investigation. None of the parties petitioned for review of the ID.
    The Commission has determined not to review the ID. Accordingly, an 
allegation of infringement of claims 1-7, 6-9, and 29-31 of the '636 
patent is included in this investigation, and the LG entities are added 
as respondents to this investigation.
    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
