“We to continue these decades of research and development in mobile technologies and continue to offer innovative products to consumers,” he concluded.

The ITC, an independent federal agency of the U.S., issued hours earlier a order to prohibit Apple , based in California, the sale and import of some of its devices, such as mobile iPhone 3 and 4, and the tablets iPad and iPad 2 .

order this U.S. government agency that maintains direct contact with the White House, President Barack Obama will arrive and if it does not impose its veto in 60 days, come into force.

Thus, the ITC confirms the version that Samsung Electronics Apple products infringe four of its patents for technology , including those related to data transmission and dialing method , as proposed by the South Korean firm in the corresponding application filed in June 2011.

Although Obama is expected to impose its veto, Apple has already stated his desire to appeal the decision , which dismissed arguing that it will have a high impact on the availability of their products in U.S., not least because it does not affect the newest and the iPhone 5 or iPad Mini.
