A preliminary ruling by a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has found that China’s BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd. misappropriated trade secrets from South Korean giant Samsung Display Co. Ltd., potentially jeopardizing BOE’s ability to export certain high-end OLED display screens to America.
The ITC issued the initial decision in mid-July, according to documents seen by Caixin. The agency sided with Samsung Display’s allegations, concluding that BOE failed to prove it developed the disputed organic light emitting diode (OLED) technology independently or obtained it from public sources.
