(Reuters) – Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp ( 6753. T) has dropped legal action to block China’s Hisense Group from selling television in North America, the Nikkei business daily reported on Friday.
Sharp had withdrawn a Federal lawsuit and an action filed with a U. S. trade body as of Thursday, the Nikkei said, without citing sources.
In September, the U. S. International Trade Commission had agreed to probe certain Wi-Fi enabled devices and their parts after Sharp accused Hisense of infringing its patents.
A Sharp spokesman declined to comment on Friday, while Hisense in Tokyo had no immediate comment.
