Samsung LED

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.
