TCL challenges Samsung over use of mini-led

Television manufacturer TCL recently stated that it believes Samsung is improperly applying the term mini-led in its marketing of televisions. This issue has already led to serious legal considerations, with TCL feeling compelled to take legal action against the Korean competitor. The involvement of both companies in the competitive television market makes the case particularly noteworthy, as both brands position their innovations and product technologies in a similar segment.
