冒頭部和訳
SamsungがBOEを特許侵害で提訴した訴訟について、米国国際貿易委員会 (US ITC) が最終的に確定された仮決定を発表した。この仮決定は限定的排除命令および停止命令の発出を勧告しており、これによりBOEのOLEDパネルおよび同パネルを使用したスマートフォンの輸入が禁止されることになる。
SamsungのUS ITCへの最初の申し立ては2023年10月に提出され、案件を担当するUS ITCの行政法判事は仮決定の初期目標日を2025年5月29日に設定したが、その後6週間延期となり2025年7月11日に変更された。申し立てでは、BOEの8つの異なる事業体が被申立人に指定されている。仮決定において行政法判事は、Samsung Displayが「証拠の優越性によって立証した」として、以下の点を指摘している。
US to Ban BOE OLED Panels in Samsung Patent Infringement Case
The US International Trade Commission (US ITC) has issued a Final Initial Determination (ID) on Samsung’s case against BOE, accusing the Chinese company of patent infringement. The ID recommends a limited exclusion order and a cease-and-desist order, which would prevent the import of BOE’s OLED panels and smartphones made with those panels.
Samsung’s initial complaint to the US ITC was submitted in October 2023, and the US ITC’s Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) assigned to the case set an initial target date for the ID as May 29, 2025, which was subsequently extended for six weeks to July 11, 2025. The complaint named eight different BOE entities as respondents. In its ID, the ALJ states that Samsung Display “has proven by a preponderance of evidence” that:
- BOE violated US law (the Tariff Act of 1930) by importing OLED display modules and components by reason of misappropriation of trade secrets.
- SDC owns at least one protectable trade secret among its asserted trade secrets.
- BOE has imported OLED display panels, OLED display modules, and components of OLED displays.
- BOE imported products made according to at least one of SDC’s trade secrets.
- BOE misappropriated at least one of SDC’s trade secrets.
- BOE’s importation of OLED panels has injured SDC’s US domestic industry.
The ID also states that BOE failed to prove by a preponderance of evidence that the misappropriated trade secrets were independently developed or derived from public sources.
The ID concludes with a recommendation for a limited exclusion order (LEO), which would prevent the import of BOE’s OLED panels, and a cease-and-desist order against each of the eight BOE companies.
Subsequent to the ID, the US ITC issued a notice of request for submissions on the public interest in this case. The notice asks members of the public and government agencies to address whether the LEO would affect the public health and welfare in the US. Written submissions must be filed by August 12, 2025.
