Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s largest smartphone producer, persuaded a U.S. trade agency to review a preliminary ruling that more than a dozen models of its mobile phones copied Apple Inc.’s patented features.
The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said yesterday it would review the findings, and it ordered a judge to address specific issues on two of the four patents found to be infringed. ITC Judge Thomas Pender in October recommended the agency order a ban on U.S. imports of Samsung products found to violate Apple’s patent rights.
