Apple Wins Patent Case Against Samsung at U.S. Agency

Apple Inc. won an order against Samsung Electronics Co. that prevents U.S. imports of devices that infringe two Apple patents for multitouch features and headphone jack detection. Some of Samsung’s newer phones work around those patents, and the devices don’t infringe ones for the design of the iPhone, the U.S. International Trade Commission said in a notice posted on its website today. The ruling doesn’t make clear how many of Samsung’s phones would be affected by the import ban, which is subject to review by the administration of President Barack Obama. Samsung can import all of its phones during that review period. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-08-09/apple-wins-patent-case-against-samsung-at-u-s-trade-agency.html
