The governments of South Korea and the United States are clashing over whether an appeals court should resurrect Motorola Mobility Inc.’s price-fixing case against the world’s liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturers.
The Korea Fair Trade Commission urged the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit last week not to reconsider a March 27 panel decision that handed victory to eight LCD makers, including South Korea-based Samsung Electronics Co. The KFTC’s May 23 amicus brief puts the South Korean agency at odds with the U.S. Department of Justice, which is supporting Illinois-based Motorola in its bid to have all of the judges on the Seventh Circuit rehear the case.
