August 3, 2013, the U.S. Trade Representative's office announced the Obama presidential veto decision, was convicted of infringing Apple products will be able to continue to sell, the U.S. government is committed to the implementation of the rules of global trade negotiations more stringent patent protection bill, the U.S. Foreign Trade Council president Bill Rein said the ban on the sale of Apple products is likely to be rejected patent protection in other countries vetoed the bill as an excuse.
Obama rejected Apple products ban so tangled patent for technology products is bound to have a significant impact, reducing the patent owners in the negotiations held by the commercial value of the patent.
