President Obama Vetoes ITC Ban On iPhone, iPads; Apple Happy, Samsung Not - Forbes: "President Obama and his administration today issued a veto on an International Trade Commission patent ruling that would have banned the import of some older models of the iPhone and iPad, dealing a blow to Samsung in its ongoing patent disputes with Apple.
The administration, which had 60 days to review the ITC’s June 4 “final determination,” announced its decision in a four-page letter by Ambassador Michael Froman, a U.S. trade representative, to Irving A. Williamson, chairman of the U.S. ITC. The ITC issued the ban on older Apple devices — the iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPad 3G and iPad 2 3G distributed with cellular service by AT&T — after agreeing with Samsung that Apple infringed one of Samsung’s standard-essential patents (SEP). The ban would have gone into effect Aug. 5."
