The U.S. International Trade Commission, which is in charge of enforcing safeguards in trade laws, has initiated an investigation of integrated circuit devices and products containing the devices made in Finland, Taiwan and South Korea for companies such as Motorola, Nokia and LG.
The investigation into potential violations of the Tariff Act is based on a complaint by Tela Innovations of Los Gatos, Calif., claiming patent infringement. The company asked the ITC to ban the products from import in the United States.
