Chinese firm BOE could be banned from the USA for close to 15 years for stealing Samsung Display's OLED technology.

Samsung Display has scored an unprecedented victory against its rival BOE for stealing its OLED technology.

In 2023, it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Chinese firm BOE with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC).

Samsung recently won that lawsuit, and the commission’s ruling is expected to effectively ban BOE’s products from entering the USA.

    China’s complete disregard for payments is bad…

    But so is the American patent system, due to lobbyist from giant corporations like Disney essentially writing our patent laws.

    The best answer is shorter term patents, it’s not only a choice between the two existing systems.

      Not that I don’t agree with your sentiment, but patents (technical methods to build machines, do stuff, etc.) are different from copyright (stories, characters, etc… the one Disney has exploited for decades).

      Copyright and patent laws need to die.

      To think otherwise is to be a useful idiot, which is the norm.
