AU Optronics attack Samsung for patent infringement

If you believe the information gathered by the Wall Street Journal, the Taiwanese manufacturer AU Optronics would attack South Korean rival Samsung Electronics on several patent infringement related technologies LCD and OLED. Earlier this month, Samsung is attacking AU Optronics for the same reasons ...

If one believes AUO, it is not less than 10 patents that Samsung infringed. The manufacturer therefore requests the ITC (International Trade Commission) to block imports and sales on American soil of products made by Samsung and violating those patents. But it would be surprising, however, that the different between the two companies ends other than by an arrangement "amicably."
