The U.S. International Trade Commission has ruled that Apple infringed on a Samsung patent and issued a cease and desist order for the AT&T iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 3G, and iPad 2 3G.
Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has found a violation of section 337 in this investigation and has issued a limited exclusion order prohibiting respondent Apple Inc. of Cupertino, California (“Apple”), from importing wireless communication devices, portable music and data processing devices, and tablet computers that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of U.S. Patent No. 7,706,348 (“the ’348 patent”). The Commission has also issued a cease and desist order against Apple prohibiting the sale and distribution within the United States of articles that infringe claims 75-76 and 82-84 of the ’348 patent. The Commission has found no violation based on U.S. Patent Nos. 7,486,644 (“the ’644 patent”), 7,450,114 (“the ’114 patent”), and 6,771,980 (“the ’980 patent”). The Commission’s determination is final, and the investigation is terminated.
The import ban will go into effect unless vetoed by President Obama during the 60-day Presidential Review period. Apple can appeal the ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
