ITC Terminates Patent-Infringement Probe Against Apple, Lenovo, Other Tech Firms

The International Trade Commission won’t review an administrative law judge’s decision terminating a Tariff Act Section 337 investigation based on a complaint alleging goods from Apple, Broadcom, Lenovo and other tech firms infringe four GlobalFoundries patents, said a notice in Monday’s Federal Register. The judge terminated the probe Nov. 25, based on a settlement agreement GlobalFoundries reached with the tech firms earlier in the fall, said the notice.
