Samsung Electronics Co., the world’s biggest maker of smartphones, will get another chance to convince a U.S. trade agency that Apple Inc.’s iPhone and iPad infringe its patents.

The U.S. International Trade Commission said yesterday it will review “in its entirety” a trade judge’s Sept. 14 findings that cleared Apple of claims the company violated four Samsung patents. The commission, which has the power to block imports of products that infringe U.S. patents, is scheduled to make a final decision on Jan. 14.
