Practical Considerations for Accessing the ITC

Many companies wonder whether the International Trade Commission (ITC) is the appropriate forum for their intellectual property (IP) cases.

• The future of patent infringement claims based on indirect infringement and method claims,
• What it takes to meet the domestic industry requirement when the asserted patent is part of a portfolio, and
• Asserting non-patent intellectual property rights in an ITC investigation.
