ITC to review decision in Apple complaint against Samsung
The U.S. International Trade Commission has decided to review an earlier decision that found Samsung Electronics’ products infringed four patents owned by Apple.
The four patents relate to the ornamental design of a device, commands through finger contacts on touchscreen displays, a method and apparatus for producing translucent images on a device, and audio I/O headset plug and plug circuitry.
The commission, which has the authority to ban products from sale in the U.S., said on Wednesday that it had decided to review a decision in October by the administrative law judge (ALJ) , which found that Samsung had infringed four Apple patents in its products, while also ruling that Apple’s complaint with regard to two other patents was disallowed.
The ITC on Wednesday also decided to remand the investigation to the ALJ with regard to two patents.
