Optical product manufacturers hit by US ban
Manufacturers of optical products using Mediatek technology have been banned from shipping their products to the US. This follows a claim by US company Zoran, that Mediatek is violating one of its patents. The FTC has upheld the complaint.
Quote:
According to a statement from Zoran, firms affected by the ban, which takes place immediately, include Asus, Lite-On, MSI, TEAC, Ultima Electronics and others.
The firms have been issued immediate cease and desist orders by the ITC, said Zoran. The effect on distributors and dealers is bound to be widespread.
