Samsung is no stranger to ITC investigations, but Nvidia has not been embroiled in nearly as many legal disputes as the Korean giant.

The two companies have already taken a number of legal actions against each other. Nvidia filed a suit against Samsung and several other companies back in September. Samsung responded with a counter-suit in November and later that month it tried to block sales of Nvidia chips via a complaint to the ITC.

The ITC is now investigating both parties involved in the dispute, reports AnandTech. Samsung’s goal of blocking sales of Nvidia products would extend to a number of partners, including leading Nvidia AIB partners and vendors of Tegra-based tablets.
