Comments are due Jan. 19 in docket 337-3520 at the International Trade Commission on public interest ramifications of the Tariff Act Section 337 import ban Ericsson seeks in a Jan. 4 complaint (login required) against Samsung smartphones, tablets and smart TVs, said Friday’s Federal Register. Ericsson alleges the Samsung devices with wireless connectivity infringe four of its patents. Ericsson asserted similar against Samsung in a New Year’s Day complaint in U.S. District Court in Marshall, Texas (see 2101030001). Samsung didn’t comment.
