Samsung vs Apple saga continues

[Pleiades]

The South Korean government has said it is concerned about the US's move to overrule a sales ban of some older Apple and iPad models.

In June, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that Apple infringed a patent of rival Samsung.

President Barack Obama's trade representative then vetoed the decision because of its "effect on competitive conditions in the US economy".

South Korea said the move would affect the protection of patent rights.

It was the first time since 1987 that a presidential administration had vetoed an ITC import ban. The ban was set to take effect on 5 August.

The South Korean media denounced the US move as being "protectionism".

When will it end?

Cronism if ever I saw it. Americans are happy to bang their ideals about till it works against them. They moan that China has no regard for patent laws then they go ahead and flagrantly overrule them to protect their own business interest.
