Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. from South Korea is named in the complaint. Also, Samsung Electronics America, Inc., which is located in Ridgefield Park, NJ, is named too.
Maxell, Ltd. wants the Commission to act. They want a limited exclusion order. This would stop certain products from entering the U.S. Maxell, Ltd. also asks for cease and desist orders. This would stop certain activities in the United States. They also want a bond during a special review period.
