SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission instituted this investigation 
on September 9, 2013, based on a complaint filed by Straight Path IP 
Group, Inc., of Glen Allen, Virginia (``Straight Path''). 78 FR 55096 
(Sept. 9, 2013). The complaint alleged violations of section 337 of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 19 U.S.C. 1337, by reason of the 
infringement of certain claims from three United States Patents. The 
notice of institution named twenty-two respondents, including Sony 
Computer Entertainment America Inc. of Foster City, California (``SCEA 
Inc.'') and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications (USA) Inc. of Atlanta, 
Georgia (``Sony Ericsson'').
    On September 20, 2013, Straight Path filed an unopposed motion to 
amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation to remove references to 
SCEA Inc. and Sony Ericsson. These respondents no longer exist as 
corporate entities and have been replaced by certain other entities, 
who are already respondents in the investigation. Order No. 2 at 1-2.
    On September 23, 2013, the ALJ granted the motion as an ID. He 
found that good cause exists for the amendments. Id.
    No petitions for review of the 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 sections 210.14 and 210.42 of the Commission's Rules of Practice and 
Procedure (19 CFR 210.14, 210.42).

    By order of the Commission.

    Issued: November 4, 2013.
Lisa R. Barton,
Acting Secretary to the Commission.
