Obama Administration Refuses To Overturn Import Ban On Samsung Products
Chris453 writes "In August 2013, President Obama issued a veto to an import ban of the iPhone 4S after Samsung won several court battles against Apple claiming that the iPhone 4S violated several of Samsung's patents. A few months ago, Samsung was on the receiving end of a very similar case filed by Apple. The International Trade Commission decided that several of Samsung's phones (Transform, Acclaim, Indulge, and Intercept models) violated Apple's patents, and should face import bans. Despite the similarities between the two cases, the Obama administration today announced that it would not veto the International Trade Commission import ban against Samsung products. The move that could spark a trade dispute between the U.S. and South Korea."
One more reason for me to dislike him ;)
Of course not, they're thoroughly folded in half.
Surely not one from Chicago!
Tic-Tac-Toe, Global Thermonuclear War, and relationships all have the same winning move.
I read the summary and now know all of the details of the two cases and will now give you my strong, educated opinion of the matter.
Yes, but "on a (mobile) computer"! It's inNOvation, you see.
As if we needed more proof. I can think of some WWII vets who have even better proof.
In SOVIET RUSSIA... erm...NSA AMERICA, the Internet logs onto YOU!
The only thing Apple makes in the US are profits and vacation plans.
I got here through a series of tubes
Clearly Samsung has a few things to learn about the American way of doing business. I'm willing to be a consultant to them in this regard, and all for the low, low price of$1M/yr. My advice? Give half of what's in petty cash, because that's all it takes. To companies this size, it's not much money, and it's the best ROI you'll ever see.
I saw some tools with a brand name of "Chicago Tools from Illinois" and a logo on the left that said "Proudly Distributed in the USA."
On the back, it still said "Made in China."
