In the latest round of a patent battle between Nvidia and Samsung, Samsung petitioned the US International Trade Commission to block the sale of Nvidia\u2019s graphics processors in the US, Bloomberg reported on Friday.<\/p>\n

The request, according to the ITC, would extend to both Nvidia\u2019s graphics cards and systems on a chip, which means it could conceivably impact both Nividia\u2019s GeForce graphics card line and its Tegra mobile processors.<\/p>\n

The back-and-forth between the two companies began in September when Nvidia sued both Samsung and Qualcomm, alleging that the two companies infringed on some of Nvidia\u2019s GPU-related patents. At the time, Nvidia said it requested that the ITC block Samsung Galaxy phones that contained certain chips from Qualcomm, ARM, and Imagination Technologies.<\/p>\n

For its part, Samsung struck back against Nvidia with a patent lawsuit of its own earlier this month. In its complaint, Samsung claimed that infringed on six of its patents related to chip design and other technologies.<\/p>\n

Why this matters: It may go without saying, but a ban on critical components such as graphics cards and processors could have a ripple effect across the tech industry, as it could affect other companies that use Nvidia\u2019s chips in its products.<\/p>\n

Engadget notes that \u201cITC complaints typically take less time to handle than lawsuits,\u201d and that as a result, \u201cthere\u2019s a greater chance that Nvidia and partners will have to yank their products.\u201d<\/p>\n

An Nvidia spokesperson told Bloomberg that it plans to lodge its own complaint with the ITC against Samsung, though, so this game of chicken is far from over.<\/p>\n
