(‘‘the ‘801 patent’’); claims 1, 3–5, 8–17,
19–21, and 23 of United States Patent
No. 6,606,346 (‘‘the ‘346 patent’’); and
various other claims of United States

complaint names five respondents: SiRF

On December 17, 2007, Global Locate
moved to amend the complaint and

and by adding claims 2, 6, 11, 14, 18,

also sought to add Broadcom

termination of the investigation as to the
claims of the ‘346 patent, but did
oppose the addition of the claims of the
‘801 patent and the addition of
Broadcom to the investigation. The
