While news of the suit has only now been revealed, it was filed on July 15, 2025. That’s just over a week before the US International Trade Commission (ITC) notably made a preliminary recommendation that BOE display panels be banned.
According to South Korean publication The Guru, this latest filing by BOE was made in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. It is reportedly the second such suit BOE and its subsidiary Chengdu BOE Optoelectronics Technology have filed in the last two months.
