Although making no comment on the legitimacy of NVIDIA's claims, the ITC confirmed in October that it would be investigating them. Samsung's response has been to file some similar demands of its own, targeting not only NVIDIA but a number of other manufacturers including ZOTAC, Mad Catz, OUYA, and Wikipad. Full details of which products, exactly, Samsung is hoping to see banned from sale have not been disclosed.
However, a patent infringement suit filed by Samsung earlier this month claims that NVIDIA's SHIELD Tablet is among devices that illegally use technology from up to eight patents the South Korean firm holds. Samsung also alleged that NVIDIA had used false advertising in describing the SHIELD Tablet as having the world's fastest mobile processor, arguing that in some metrics its own Exynos 5433 scores better. NVIDIA responded by releasing a brace of benchmark tests it says back up its claims.
