Arnstein & Lehr Chicago Partner David L. Newman was quoted in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, titled “Google’s FTC agreement may bring help to Apple.” The article discusses Google’s agreement with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) not to seek sales bans on competitors’ products that infringe the standard essential patents it acquired through the purchase of Motorola Mobility last year. The article also discusses a separate, ongoing case at the International Trade Commission (ITC) where Apple faces the threat of a potential sales ban on its iPod, iPhone and iPad products if the ITC finds Apple infringed Samsung’s standard essential patents. Mr. Newman comments that the ITC could rely on the FTC’s agreement with Google as a basis not to place an import ban on Apple’s products.
