Overview
The outcome of a US International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation can result in aftershocks that affect both the immediate and long-term future of your business and intellectual property (IP) lifecycle. At the heart of an ITC Section 337 proceeding is the question of whether an imported product violates US intellectual property rights.
With our business-first perspective on ITC investigations, we understand the urgency and necessity of securing a favorable outcome to protect and enforce your ability to remain operational. If there is a finding of infringement, the ITC can ban the importation or sale of imported goods in the United States, or you could lose market access in the United States and experience disruptions to your supply chain—and it happens quickly. To optimize the likelihood of success, you need an agile team with a deep understanding of the industry and the ability to manage the complex, fast-paced nature of ITC investigations through trial.
