Section 337 Investigations
In a global market, with technology and other consumer products increasingly imported into the United States, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has become an important forum for the resolution of intellectual property disputes, especially patent infringement. Arnold & Porter offers clients the distinct advantage of a skilled team recognized for its experience and expertise in Section 337 litigation before the ITC. With the fast pace, special procedures, and powerful remedies in Section 337 cases, our clients depend on our insight into the ITC's procedures, administrative law judges, and staff to best protect their interests. We have acted as lead counsel in multiple ITC trials for both accused infringers and patent holders, and have successfully resolved dozens of cases before trial.
