SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
under section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, 19 U.S.C. 1337, on June 
26, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Nokia Corporation of Espoo, 
Finland and Nokia Inc., of Sunnyvale, California (collectively, 
``Nokia''). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges a violation of 
section 337 by reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent 
Nos. 6,035,189 (``the `189 patent''); 6,373,345; 6,711,211 (``the `211 
patent''); 7,187,945; 8,140,650 (``the `650 patent''); and 8,363,824. 
78 FR 38362 (Jun. 26, 2013). The respondents are HTC Corporation of 
Taoyuan City, Taiwan, and HTC America, Inc. of Bellevue, Washington 
(collectively, ``HTC''). Subsequently, third party Google Inc. 
(``Google'') intervened as a party in this investigation with respect 
to three of the six patents, namely the `189, `211 and `650 patents. 78 
FR 49764 Aug. 15, 2013). The complaint was amended to add U.S. Patent 
No. 7,366,529 (``the `529 patent'') and to add Nokia's recently 
launched domestic industry products. 78 FR 56737 (Sept. 13, 2013).
    On September 17, 2013, Google filed a motion to intervene as a 
party in this investigation with respect to the `529 patent. The motion 
states that respondents HTC do not oppose the motion. On September 27, 
2013, complainants Nokia filed a response to Google's motion.
    On October 31, 2013, the ALJ issued an ID (Order No. 14) granting 
Google's motion. No party petitioned for review of the ID, and the 
Commission has determined not to review it.
    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 sections 210.42-.46 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.42-.46).

    By order of the Commission.
