Kenyon & Kenyon LLP’s International Trade Commission practice is comprised of trial lawyers whose experience as former ITC attorneys informs their ability to effectively navigate the procedural complexities inherent in Section 377 proceedings. We protect access to a trillion dollar consumer market for the world’s leading companies by defending their rights to import products into the US, as well as by securing exclusion orders against their competitors. With a practice that includes the current secretary of the International Trade Commission Trial Lawyers Association, a former president of the ITC Lawyers Association, and a former Editorial Board Advisory member to one of the leading IP law news publications, International Trade Law360, our depth of ITC related knowledge provides the unique advantage that companies engaged in ITC proceedings seek. In addition to exhibiting this knowledge from pre-filing investigation through trial and appeal, we also “wrote the book” on Section 337 cases. We are authors of the “go-to treatise” on ITC case management, Unfair Competition and the ITC: Actions Before the International Trade Commission Under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Such accomplishments were recently touted by Managing Intellectual Property, which recognized our practice as one of the top ITC practices.
Our industry experience is comprehensive. We have handled section 337 cases involving semiconductors, monitors, software, LCD devices, digital televisions, blu-ray disc players, mobile phones, batteries, medical devices, hybrid electric vehicles, antidegradants, sensors, rare-earth magnetics, flooring, sheeting, fans, power tools, acid-washed denim garments, yarns, salts, and sweeteners, among many others. We capitalize on this experience to help our clients analyze opportunities and devise litigation strategies which position them for success in their target industries and markets. When the circumstances require participation in parallel district court proceedings, our clients benefit from our track record of handlings such parallel actions in some of the busiest forums for IP litigation. We also provide clients with related counsel on global patent enforcement and prosecution strategies, as well as representation before the US Customs Service and the Office of the US Trade Representative.
