Samsung Electronics has filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) seeking to block Nvidia's GPUs from the U.S. market, Bloomberg reported. Samsung had accused Nvidia of infringing chip-related patents and for making false claims about its products. The S. Korean company filed a lawsuit in a U.S. federal court in Virginia on Nov. 4.

Previously, Nvidia had accused Samsung and Qualcomm of infringing patents on its GPUs. Nvidia last September filed complaints against Samsung and Qualcomm at the International Trade Commission and in the U.S. District Court in Delaware.

As a result, Samsung's latest legal action with ITC was expected. The Bloomberg report said that the ITC complaint also named computer-parts manufacturers Biostar Microtech International and Elitegroup Computer Systems Co.
