The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) decided yesterday to review a ruling made by an administrative law judge in the ongoing patent-infringement saga between Apple and Samsung.
Judge Thomas Pender in October ruled that Samsung had violated one of Apple's iPhone design patents, as well as three software feature patents, in some of its mobile products. Two other patents brought before the judge by Apple were found to have not been violated by Samsung.
In a memo published yesterday (PDF), the ITC announced that it will review the ruling passed down by Judge Pender. The organization said that it received "petitions for review" from Apple and Samsung. In December, Google, which develops the Android operating system running on Samsung's devices, filed a submission "in response to the Notice of Request for Statements on the Public Interest." The ITC didn't say what was in Google's submission, but the company presumably shared its support for Samsung.
