As part of the regular review process of a US International Trade Commission (USITC) judgement, the commission has declared that it will review a judge's decision which found that Apple was not in violation of Samsung-held patents in making its line of multitouch iOS devices. The review will examine Judge James Gildea's preliminary ruling from September. If Apple is ultimately found to use Samsung's patents improperly, it may face an injunction in the United States on infringing devices.
