Chinese firm BOE could be banned from the USA for close to 15 years for stealing Samsung Display's OLED technology.

Samsung Display has scored an unprecedented victory against its rival BOE for stealing its OLED technology.

In 2023, it filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Chinese firm BOE with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC).

Samsung recently won that lawsuit, and the commission’s ruling is expected to effectively ban BOE’s products from entering the USA.

    if you remove money from the equation, would you do the same thing you’re doing right now?

    Necessity is the mother of invention. Not money. Money is just the necessity RIGHT now because the leaders you elect are only interested in themselves just like you are. If people bothered to rise up above their base desires we can do more than say “toil all your life or die”.

    Do you really feel like all the advancements of the past 200 or so years have made our daily lives easier?

      Ah, that’s what you were getting at. Yes. Of course I’m right there with you to seize the means of production.

      But after that’s done, I’m quitting rnd and going home to subsist on my monthly ration of 5m long baguettes and 20L jars of mustard. Someone else can work in the dangerous chem lab. If they want to.

      Also, yes. In the past 200 years, inventions borne from the motivations of capitalism have brought us indoor plumbing and refrigeration. If you feel that these are meaningless, I invite you to go without it for just a day.

      Actually, indoor plumbing has had a long history, so perhaps to be specific: the flushing toilet.

      Also I could do with refrigeration for a day. Perhaps the microwave?

      I’m not even sure why I’m debating with you - I’m against patents just as much, if not more. But short of a much better ‘don’t even need to think about it’ alternative, the dilapidated patent system is still necessary (amongst other methods of IP protection) in this capitalism driven world.
