Vitec Group Plc’s Litepanels unit won its bid to block U.S. imports of lighting for television and movie studios made overseas by competitors.

The competing lighting modules infringe two Litepanels patents and should be barred from entering the country, the U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said in a notice today on its website. The decision can be overturned by President Barack Obama on public policy grounds.

I was wondering what was going on in this case, so I guess now we know! How exactly will this effect imports from Amazon, Ebay and and PV Deals here? Just scooped up a couple 1200 LED panels myself.
