SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on January 24, 2014, based on a complaint filed by Tela Innovations, 
Inc. (``Tela'') of Los Gatos, California. 79 FR 4175-76. 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 standard cell libraries, products containing or 
made using the same, integrated circuits made using the same, and 
products containing such integrated circuits by reason of infringement 
of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,490,043. The complaint further 
alleges the existence of a domestic industry. The Commission's notice 
of investigation named Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, 
Limited of Hsinchu, Taiwan and TSMC North America of San Jose, 
California (collectively, ``TSMC'') as respondents. The Office of 
Unfair Import Investigations was also named as a party.
    On January 30, 2014, Tela moved to amend the complaint and notice 
of investigation to add allegations of violation of section 337 by 
reason of infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent No. 8,635,583. 
The Commission investigative attorney and TSMC opposed the motion, and 
Tela filed a reply to their oppositions.
    On March 13, 2014, the ALJ issued the subject ID granting the 
motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. No party 
petitioned for review of the ID. The Commission has determined not to 
review this 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.

    Issued: April 1, 2014.
