Samsung Display has scored an unprecedented victory against its rival BOE for stealing its OLED technology.
In 2023, it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Chinese firm BOE with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC).
Samsung recently won that lawsuit, and the commission’s ruling is expected to effectively ban BOE’s products from entering the USA.
IP is supposed to provide advantage for inventors/innovators by giving them temporary protection from copycats.
That is to motivate people to invent/innovate. The problem is that the law keeps getting modified to extend the time before the protection expires and corporations abusing them in strange ways.
The silent problem with extending the expiration is that innovators will just stop innovating and milk the IP advantage they have.
