Section 337 investigations move on compressed timelines and can reshape supply chains. Knowing whether — and how — to use the ITC can be as important as the merits.
Jones Walker represents clients in Section 337 investigations before the US International Trade Commission, which often involve allegations of patent infringement tied to imported products. We help clients evaluate whether the ITC is the right forum — including considerations related to injunctive relief, parallel district court litigation, and supply-chain impact.
When Section 337 actions proceed, we assist with all phases of the investigation: institution, discovery, hearings before the administrative law judge, and commission review. We help clients manage the unique procedural and strategic issues associated with ITC actions, including coordination with parallel district court litigation and business planning around potential exclusionary remedies.
