ITC delays Microsoft Xbox 360 US import ban decision
David Shaw, a judge for the ITC, had previously ruled in April that the Xbox 360 had infringed on four patents owned by Motorola regarding the use of H.264 video encoding. In May, Judge Shaw recommended that the ITC place a ban on importing the 4 GB and 250 GB versions of the Xbox 360 S consoles into the US as a consequence of the console violating Motorola's patents.
The story gives no reasons while the full ITC board would send the case back to Judge Shaw. The board was previously expected to make a final decision on the Xbox 360 patent case in August. Earlier this month, a number of companies, including Apple, Cisco, HP, Nokia, Intel and Activision, wrote letters to the ITC requesting the organization not ban the Xbox 360 from being imported to the US.
US House of Representatives member Darrell Issa (R-CA) also wrote his own letter to the ITC supporting Microsoft, saying, "An exclusion order would eliminate the only U.S. based videogame console from a market."

Katsumi Why should the xbox360 be banned.. its completely illogical in my opinion
Why? if they infringe on motorolas patents then it deserves to be banned and thats what microsoft has done.
It probably wont be banned because microsoft seems to control what they want.

Any Okay. I don't understand why Motorola cares. MOTOROLA IS A COMPLETELY different company than microsoft. I hope they go bankrupt.
i agree with you there

LOL if Xbox gets banned in the USA, Microsoft would just lift the phone and press a certain speeddial and all of a sudden the problem goes away.
