Members of the US market have the right to file a complaint with the Commission on the International Commission of the United States (ITC) to determine violations of patent law, and banned the sale of certain products in the country. Many developers of microcircuits and processors, as well as mobile devices tried to use this opportunity in their time, trying to force each other out of the American market, but lawyers also could make good money in these proceedings, and the plaintiffs achieved the desired result only in rare cases.
Late last week, the agency said that it was launching an investigation into AMD's complaint, which accused a number of companies present in the US market of using its technologies and developments in graphics solutions illegally. In violation of the rights of AMD and ATI for intellectual property are suspected LG Electronics, MediaTek Inc., Sigma Designs and VIZIO Inc. The following product categories manufactured or used by components of listed companies fall into the risk zone: TVs, tablets, smartphones, graphics processors, wearable devices, and "other consumer products".
Of course, the defendants have the right to appeal against the decision of ITC, even if it will contain categorical verdicts and bans. The trial may drag on for years, and its outcome is uncertain, but now we know to whom AMD has patent claims.
