samsung apparently submitted an appeal to itc's ruling back in june which let apple off the hook on samsung'slaims that it infringed upon some of samsung's patents. samsung is expected to claim that they are a commercial patent and not a standard essential patent that apple violated. now, while many say this could lead to a protectionism war and could change the landscape of intellectual properties, the korean government has voiced concerns saying that it wants a fair decision from the u.s. the korean trade ministry will be closely watching itc's decision this friday where the agency decides whether to ban some of samsung's imports in the u.s. bear in mind, though, this itc decision could be pushed back a little bit. in the meantime, analysts here say the actual impact on samsung's short-term earnings won't be so detrimental because even if the itc bans samsung's products, it doesn't include the latest model, the galaxy s4. on the longer term the veto does give an upper hand to apple in the patent war making it more costly, possibly, for samsung electronics. remember samsung shares have lost

if you talk about samsung and apple from a company-to-company perspective, currently samsung is one of for apple. so this is a relationship between these two. even if you talk about u.s. and south korea, it can potentially trigger off kind of a trade disdense, but also i think it would be cooperation between two corporate entities which happen to belong to south korea and the other the u.s. so the government would not like to get involved too much. that's my fundamental belief in this. >> a.j., stay there while we bring you the latest on the new iphone that's supposedly coming all things digital. first reported that apple will unveil the next version of the smartphone at a special event on september the 10th. the new iphone would hit stores in time for the holiday shopping season. earlier this summer reports said that apple was experimenting with larger screens for the iphone. the device is expected to run apple's new ios 7 software which it began testing in june. apple shares in frankfurt are pretty much flat, down by around 0.1%. a.j., let me bring you back on this one. you talked ab

, samsung had rulings not in its favor. >> definitely.ot done well in europe in similar cases, the standard essential patent here is kind of called into question whether it's essential, but the -- there's fighting in many countries, and samsung's taking more licks than apple lately, and that could be bad to the bottom line. liz: do we have a window into the administration's future decisions on intellectual property decisions? >> well, it suggests they are ready to step up to the plate and make a push to rape in a system that, i think, some of have gone out of control. particularly, when a small piece of a small component of a technology can be used, arguably, to block the entry or continued sale of a product all together, even when the piece of the product at issue is small. liz: when a small company has an idea of its own, and, clearly, it's obvious that apple is very original in the ideas, and samsung, as well. should that not be protected in some way, shape, or form? their people came up with it. >> sure, absolutely it should be protec

samsung may appeal.-- basically samsung and the white house decision. i decided to disapprove and reversed a ban due to the effect of the u.s. economy and consumers. we have a big backlash growing in south korea. south korea, the government is out with a statement saying this is protectionist. we are concerned about this. we are seeing a essentially samsung may go to court to reverse this. here is the problem, why the white house does not like this. it is so easy for the trade court to basically block the sale of goods instead of assessing financial penalties. companies know that. they have a history of bands of the international trade commission. the white house is essentially saying we're going to protect apple, protect our consumers and have these products sold. cheryl: starting to use import and export bans as political. redoing and all over the world. it sounds -- >> again, this is basically essentially companies as saying they may have little effect. cheryl: thank you. dennis: and speaking of paten

, where the obama administration stepped in to referee a patent fight over a samsung technology that was allegedly used by apple in its early iphones. some say the decision is changing how companies can protect their inventions. "it takes away one avenue some patent owners use." the obama administration says it overturned a u.s. international trade commission ruling in order to prevent harm to consumers. if it hadn't gotten involved, apple would have been banned by the itc from selling older iphones and ipads in the u.s. but samsung, which claims apple infringed on its patent protection, will still be allowed to seek monetary damages. "the patent is so broad. if successful, they take that win and pound on everyone else. so it's not just apple." tech analyst rob enderle says the first such itc veto in decades marks the end of an era of keeping products off shelves due to violating "standard- essential patents," or those broad inventions covering basic functions - in this case, connecting to a wireless network. "these broad patents shouldn't be allowed, because they would curtail large
