reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 6,849,881 
(``the `881 patent''); 6,975,011; 7,106,090 (``the `090 patent''); 
7,151,283; and 7,271,425. 76 FR 40746 (Jul. 11, 2011). The respondents 
are LG Electronics, Inc. of Seoul, South Korea; LG Innotek Co., Ltd. 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 
(collectively, ``LG''). Id.
    Complainant OSRAM moved to amend the complaint and notice of 
investigation to withdraw all allegations with respect to the `881 and 
`090 patents, and to add allegations of a violation of Section 337 by 
all respondents as to claims 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9-12, 15-17, 20, 22, 24, 
25, 27, 28, 30, and 33-35 of U.S. Patent No. 7,341,925 (``the `925 
patent''). Respondent LG filed a response supporting the withdrawal of 
allegations with respect to the `881 and `090 patents, and opposing 
OSRAM's request to add allegations with respect to the `925 patent.
    On December 8, 2011, the presiding ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 9). 
The ALJ granted OSRAM's motion in part to the extent that it sought 
termination of the `881 patent and the `090 patent from the 
investigation, and denied the portion of OSRAM's motion that sought to 
add the `925 patent to this investigation. No party petitioned for 
review. 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(h) of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure, 19 CFR 210.42(h).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: December 30, 2011.

Secretary to the Commission.
