Apple might have to ban some iPhone models in the US due to one of its subsidiaries allegedly stealing Samsung’s OLED trade secrets.
Apple may soon be banned from selling some iPhone models in the US, as one of its subsidiaries is accused of infringing on Samsung’s OLED trade secrets. According to ETNews, the United States International Trade Commission preliminarily ruled that display maker BOE and seven subsidiaries “violated Samsung Display’s trade secrets and violated Articles 337 of the Customs Act.”
While the decision isn’t final, the ITC usually doesn’t reverse preliminary rulings in its final judgments. Because of that, Apple might have to stop selling iPhone models with a BOE display in its US stores.
