Esto significa que las restricciones a la importaci\u00f3n de SK Innovation en EE.UU. impuestas por la Comisi\u00f3n Federal de Comercio de EE.UU. en febrero, incluida la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2021\/03\/17\/power-play-volkswagen-corta-la-cadena-de-suministro-de-celdas-en-corea\/\">posibles efectos en los clientes Volkswagen y Ford<\/a>est\u00e1n fuera de la mesa, al igual que <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2021\/03\/31\/sk-innovation-se-plantea-retirar-su-negocio-de-ee-uu\/\">La amenaza de retirada de SKI de EE.UU.<\/a> negocio de bater\u00edas.<\/p>\n<p>Hay un gran alivio entre los socios afectados de SK Innovation. Ford emiti\u00f3 inmediatamente un comunicado en el que dec\u00eda \"Nos complace que SK Innovation y LG Energy Solution hayan resuelto sus diferencias. Esto nos permite centrarnos en ofrecer una gama de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos con bater\u00eda de primera clase de Ford para nuestros clientes minoristas y de flotas, al tiempo que apoyamos a los trabajadores estadounidenses, la econom\u00eda y nuestro objetivo compartido de proteger el planeta.\" El jefe del Grupo Volkswagen de Am\u00e9rica, Scott Keogh, tambi\u00e9n a\u00f1adi\u00f3 algo similar: est\u00e1n satisfechos de que ambos proveedores de bater\u00edas hayan resuelto sus diferencias. Ahora que se han resuelto los contenciosos, VW se concentra en el inicio de la producci\u00f3n en EE.UU. del SUV ID.4 totalmente el\u00e9ctrico en 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Durante unos dos a\u00f1os, SK Innovation y LG Chem, o m\u00e1s bien su nueva divisi\u00f3n de bater\u00edas LG Energy Solution, estuvieron implicadas en un <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2019\/04\/30\/ee-uu-lg-chem-presenta-demandas-contra-sk-innovation\/\">disputa legal en ee.uu.<\/a>, y ambas empresas tambi\u00e9n se solaparon con <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2019\/09\/02\/la-carne-de-vacuno-en-bateria-sigue-aumentando\/\">demandas por infracci\u00f3n de patentes en Corea del Sur<\/a>. Sin embargo, la disputa legal en EE.UU. se preparaba para sacudir las estrategias de eMobility de Volkswagen y Ford. La reclamaci\u00f3n consist\u00eda en que SK Innovation hab\u00eda cazado furtivamente a empleados de LG Chem, que supuestamente hab\u00edan transmitido a SK Innovation los conocimientos t\u00e9cnicos patentados de LG Chem para el desarrollo y la producci\u00f3n de bater\u00edas. LG Chem aleg\u00f3, entre otras cosas, que SK Innovation s\u00f3lo hab\u00eda ganado el contrato de suministro de c\u00e9lulas de bater\u00edas para <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2018\/05\/08\/vw-se-asegura-baterias-por-valor-de-40-000-millones-de-euros\/\">La plataforma modular MEB de Volkswagen<\/a>\u00a0porque los empleados cazados furtivamente por LG Chem hab\u00edan revelado dichos secretos comerciales.<\/p>\n<p>La Comisi\u00f3n de Comercio de EEUU fall\u00f3 provisionalmente en 2020 y recientemente de forma definitiva a favor de LG. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/2021\/02\/11\/lg-chem-gana-la-batalla-legal-contra-sk-en-ee-uu\/\">El fallo fue duro<\/a>: Se iba a prohibir a SK Innovation importar a EE.UU. determinadas bater\u00edas y sus componentes durante un periodo de diez a\u00f1os. S\u00f3lo se permitir\u00eda a SKI importar temporalmente componentes para la producci\u00f3n en EE.UU. de bater\u00edas para los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos Ford F-150 y MEB de Volkswagen durante cuatro a\u00f1os en el caso de Ford, y dos a\u00f1os en el caso de Volkswagen, se dijo.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Los fabricantes surcoreanos de pilas SK Innovation y LG Energy Solution han llegado a un acuerdo en su disputa legal de un a\u00f1o de duraci\u00f3n.

A report by <em>CNBC<\/em> reads along the lines that the Biden administration has been pressuring both corporations to settle out of court before the deadline.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;LG Energy Solution and SK Innovation have decided to settle to compete in an amicable way, all for the future of the U.S. and South Korean electric vehicle battery industries,&#8221; Jun Kim, CEO and president of SK Innovation, and Jong Hyun Kim, CEO and president of LG Energy Solution, said in a joint statement. &#8220;We are dedicated to work together to support the Biden Administration\u2019s climate agenda and to develop a robust U.S. supply chain.&#8221; Adding, &#8220;We are grateful to the Korean and U.S. governments and stakeholders involved for their efforts in making this settlement possible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>SKI adds that with the uncertainties now removed, construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2020\/09\/22\/sk-innovation-hires-personnel-for-new-us-plants\/\">the Georgia plant will be accelerated<\/a>. The planned production facility is already the second in the state.

And, &#8220;This agreement also reinforces the significance of our intellectual property acquired over the past 30 years.&#8221; The agreement, he said, allows the two companies to peacefully co-exist and compete in good faith in the global marketplace.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/insideevs.com\/news\/500287\/sk-innovation-pay-lg-chem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insideevs.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/04\/11\/business\/dealbook\/battery-dispute-electric-vehicles.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nytimes.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/skinnonews.com\/global\/archives\/4749\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">skinnonews.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210411005029\/en\/LG-Energy-Solution-and-SK-Innovation-Reach-Agreement-to-End-USITC-Trade-Secret-Dispute-and-End-Litigation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">businesswire.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/media.ford.com\/content\/fordmedia\/fna\/us\/en\/news\/2021\/04\/11\/ford-sk-innovation-lg-energy-solution-settlement.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ford.com<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2021\/04\/11\/biden-praises-south-korean-battery-maker-deal-as-win-for-us-electric-vehicle-push.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cnbc.com<\/a><\/p>\n"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=152977"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/152977\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/128038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152977"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=152977"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=152977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
