Obama Administration Sides With Apple on Import Ban Ruling
Found on Wired on Sunday, 04 August 2013
In a letter from U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, the Obama administration overruled an import ban on older iPhone and iPad models issued by the International Trade Commission at Samsung’s request earlier this year.
According to The Wall Street Journal, this is the first time since 1987 that an administration has vetoed a ban ordered by the Commission.
If you are facing the rulings of an independent agency, you respect it. You cannot cherry-pick only those rulings you like. Well you can, but that just totally ruins your respectability. Especially when you fight so vigorously for stronger IP and patent laws worldwide. Nobody will take you serious anymore when you decide to ignore a ruling to support your own economy.
