Import Ban Sought at ITC on OLED Goods From BOE, LG, Samsung, Sony

Comments are due Jan. 12 in International Trade Commission docket 337-3518 on public-interest ramifications of the Tariff Act Section 337 import ban that Solas OLED seeks against AMOLED devices and components from BOE, LG, Samsung and Sony for allegedly infringing three display technology patents, said Monday’s Federal Register. Permitting “unlicensed parties” like the proposed respondents to “continue their unfair acts” would devalue the patents and undermine the investments of Solas licensee eMagin to manufacture OLED in the U.S., said Solas’ Dec. 28 complaint (login required). BOE, LG, Samsung and Sony didn’t comment Tuesday.
