• The US International Trade Commission has made a preliminary decision that BOE infringed on Samsung Display’s patents.
• Samsung is expected to request a reexamination of its request to ban the sale of products that violate its patents in the US.
• If the ban were to be approved, it could affect Android brands like Motorola, OnePlus, and more.

Samsung Display is currently in a dispute with BOE, accusing the firm of infringing on its patents. The US International Trade Commission (ITC) has just handed down a preliminary decision on the case. The implications could result in some Android brands being banned in the US.

The Elec reports that the ITC’s preliminary decision finds BOE infringed on Samsung Display’s patents. This patent infringement case started in 2022 against 17 importers and wholesalers. BOE was later looped into the drama as a defendant in 2023. In the dispute, Samsung requested a ban on the selling or importing of products that violate these patents in the US. At the time, the ITC did not accept this request stating that “there’s no impact on the industry in the US.”
