International Trade: Intellectual Property (Section 337)

Kirkland's attorneys have the knowledge, experience and resources necessary to successfully litigate a Section 337 proceeding at the ITC. Indeed, Kirkland attorneys:

• Have been litigating Section 337 cases before the ITC for more than 20 years;

• Litigated what is reported to be the largest Section 337 case ever filed at the ITC;

• Obtained the first temporary exclusion and cease & desist orders ever issued under the 1988 modifications to the ITC rules;

• Helped start the current trend toward obtaining ITC general exclusion orders; and

• Persuaded the ITC to hold for the first time that the jurisdictional importation requirement can be met even where the infringing article was manufactured in the U.S.
