ITC LITIGATION

Monday, February 25 to Tuesday, February 26, 2013

Washington Hilton, Washington, DC

The continued evolution of the domestic industry requirement…the persistence of the “NPE”…FRAND and standards essential patents…EPROMS and an evolving injunctive relief standard…a brimming political debate on the role of the ITC in today’s IP litigation environment…these issues are only a few of the topics that have captivated ITC practitioners in recent months. Maintaining its position as possibly the most favored venue for the assertion of IP rights in the United States, recent data published by the U.S. International Trade Commission indicate that the Commission’s active caseload will “likely remain stable or increase in the current fiscal year” based on the number of new complaint filings initiated in thus far in FY 2012.  Offering great benefits for patent holders while creating tremendous challenges for those who sit on the opposing side, one must come to the ITC well equipped to litigate under the highest pressure in order to achieve success on behalf of your client.
