●● Obama Apparently a Patent Judge Now

Posted in Apple, Patents at 11:30 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

But not a tyrant, not even with executive orders

Summary: Apple products are poised to get banned after Apple started suing several Android-backing companies, but the President can veto the decision despite knowing nothing about this case

The FRAND boosters keep track of ITC intervention in an Android case. “The document,” say the boosters, “includes both the Commission’s determination of a violation of Section 337 and its decision to issue an exclusion order despite the fact that Samsung had previously pledged to license the patent at issue on FRAND terms, along with a dissent by Commissioner Dean A. Pinkert from the decision to issue an exclusion order.”

Here is a press report from IDG. It reminds us that “The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in June that some Apple products violated a Samsung patent” and “The ban could come into effect on Aug. 5 after a 60-days review period during which U.S. President Barack Obama can veto the order.”

We wrote about this before. It is rather amusing that a politician is being given the power to intervene in matters that are outside his scope. It is funny how nobody dares to point this out. How about denial of asylum in another country? Where has compartmentalisation of this system gone? █
