According to associate, Samsung Electronics expects that U.S. President Barack Obama would veto a ban on imports of its products, as it has done in the case of Apple. If this happens, Samsung will be able to continue to import products into the United States, which infringed competitor patents .
If the president does not undo the effect of the decision to ban the import , based on the finding of infringement of two patents by Samsung , the world's largest maker of smartphones will lose the opportunity to sell in the U.S., some older models, starting from 8 October.
The U.S. administration has already provided a similar situation. The commission's decision by the U.S. International Trade ban on imports of Apple iPhone 4 and iPad 2 3G was canceled by president in early August this year .
According to observers, the likelihood that the president will veto is now small.
However, the ban will affect only a small number of smartphones. At the same time, at the end of the second quarter Samsung owns 32% of the global smartphone market, while Apple - 13%. Samsung and Apple are the major players in the smartphone market, estimated at $ 279.9 billion.
