International Trade Commission

A top HTC executive stated this week that the company will still appeal against a preliminary decision by the International Trade Commission in a case brought by Apple.

Winston Yung, a Chief Financial Officer at HTC, said Wednesday that the company has not yet considered a settlement in the case, though he would not rule out any possibilities.

"We are going to appeal. We are confident that we have a strong case," said Yung.

On July 15, the International Trade Commission (ITC) made a preliminary ruling that HTC infringed on two of Apple's patents.

Samsung LED Co Ltd is asking US International Trade Commission to ban imports of LED products from Siemens' (SIEGn.DE) light bulb unit Osram and affiliates Osram Opto Semiconductors and Osram Sylvania Inc.

In a Sunday statement Samsung LED said it had also filed a lawsuit with the US District Court for Delaware over patent infringement "to seek damages and a permanent injunction barring Osram's infringement."

On Friday the Korean vendor filed separately the complaint and the lawsuit with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and the Delaware court.
