The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has started an investigation based on a complaint from Corning Incorporated regarding certain glass substrates used in liquid crystal displays (LCDs). The complaint alleges that several companies, including those from China and the U.S., are importing products that infringe on Corning's patents. The ITC will look into whether these actions violate U.S. trade laws and if an industry in the U.S. is affected. As a result, Corning is requesting the ITC to issue orders to prevent further importation and sale of the infringing products.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. is checking if some companies are breaking rules by bringing and selling special glass for screens without permission, and they want to stop them if they are.
