February 23, 2017
ITC Practice Chair Tom Jarvis spoke at the American Conference Institute’s 9th Expert Forum on ITC Litigation & Enforcement on February 23, 2017, in Washington, D.C. This annual conference was attended by members of the ITC Bench, senior ITC personnel, in-house counsel, and leading private practitioners of the Section 337 Bar. Winston & Strawn also served as a sponsor of the conference.
Mr. Jarvis spoke on the “Upgrading Your Global Patent Litigation Strategy: How Practitioners Are Successfully Incorporating Section 337 Filings as Part of a Wider Strategy for Global Patent Litigation” panel, which addressed the following topics:
- Assessing your ITC filings in the context of your Global Litigation strategy
- Implications for the EU Unified Patent Court post-Brexit
- Opportunities to invalidate UK counterparts (a U.S. patent where the claims are substantially similar to a UK patent)
- Chinese antitrust claims to offset U.S. patent infringement claims
- In Germany, what are the advantages to using a bifurcated invalidity and infringement case?
Mr. Jarvis focuses his practice on litigating patent cases at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). Over the past 30 years, Mr. Jarvis has litigated more than 50 ITC Section 337 cases, totaling more than 100 trial days as lead trial counsel.
