The US International Trade Commission ruled that BOE displayed infringing Samsung Display's trade secrets regarding OLED panels, resulting in Apple being unable to sell iPhones with BOE displays in the US. The ITC's order includes restricting imports and prohibiting further production or sales until a final ruling occurs in November. Apple continues to source components globally, including from Samsung and LG, and has approved BOE displays for the iPhone 17 Pro in China. The ITC's ruling is reinforced by another lawsuit from Samsung Display seeking damages for BOE's infringement.
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled that BOE infringed on Samsung Display's trade secrets, preventing Apple from selling iPhones with BOE displays in the US.
The ITC's ruling includes a limited exclusion order preventing the import of infringing iPhones and a cease and desist order ending production and sales activities.
Apple has approved BOE display panels for the iPhone 17 Pro, which will only be sold in China, unaffected by the ITC's US ban.
Samsung Display is suing for compensation in the US over BOE's infringement, seeking both lost operating profit and punitive damages.
