Chinese Firm Banned for Allegedly Stealing Samsung OLED Technology
Samsung Display has triumphed over BOE in a patent infringement lawsuit, with the US ITC ruling that BOE illegally used Samsung’s OLED technology. The ITC’s preliminary ruling found that BOE, having allegedly stolen technology through various means, violated the Tariff Act, causing significant harm to Samsung Display. As a result, BOE’s OLED panels face a potential ban in the US for nearly 15 years, effectively blocking their sales and use in products like iPhones. This victory could give Samsung Display a considerable advantage, especially considering the company’s history of significant investment in OLED technology and the impact this ruling will have on BOE’s operations.
