President Obama’s administration has vetoed a decision by the United States International Trade Commission to ban the import and sale of a number of Apple products, including models of the iPhone 4 and iPad 2.

The ITC announced the ban in June after finding that those devices had violated a patent held by Samsung.

Thanks, Obama! Samsung still cries. :giggle:
 
I think Apple will deliver a plate with cookies to White House. :lol:

I love APPLE.
 
Wait....someone broke the law, the ITC stopped them and then the President vetoed it? For one, he does not have the authority to do that. This is terrible that we have a President who so blatantly breaks the law. :( As much as I like Apple, if I understand this correctly...this is a bad thing, not a good thing.

No, it was someone from Obama Admin, not president itself and the admin has authority to veto ITC ruling if they don't agree.
 
In a letter to the ITC (embedded below), US Trade Representative Michael Froman writes that he has decided to “disapprove” the ban “based on my review of the various policy considerations discussed above as they relate to the effect on competitive conditions in the U.S. economy and the effect on U.S. consumers.” However, he also said Samsung “may continue to pursue its rights through the courts.”

Still has the potential for the decision to be reversed.
