behalf of Nokia Technologies Oy of Espoo, Finland (``complainant''). 82 
FR 8626-27 (Jan. 27, 2017). The complaint, as supplemented, alleges 
violations of section 337 based upon the importation into the United 
States, the sale for importation, and the sale within the United States 
after importation of certain electronic devices, including mobile 
phones, tablet computers, and components thereof by reason of 
infringement of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,415,247 (``the 
'247 patent''); 9,270,301 (``the '301 patent''); 6,393,260 (``the '260 
patent''); 6,826,391 (``the '391 patent''); 6,480,700; 9,473,602;
