ITC – Section 337

Our experienced team includes a number of attorneys who have first-chaired successful ITC trials, a former U.S. patent examiner, and more than 60 attorneys with technical degrees in engineering (electrical, computer, chemical, biomedical) and physics, among other areas. We have the education and industry experience to litigate complex patent technologies, navigate the specialized procedural law, and formulate and execute the strategies necessary to succeed at the ITC.

We have acted for both complaints and respondents, representing clients in a wide range of technologies, including wireless telecommunications, smartphones, digital signal processors, electronic design automation tools, microprocessors, memory devices (NAND/NOR Flash Memory, DRAMs, SRAMs, and EPROMs), modems, semiconductor fabrication processes, semiconductor lasers and LEDs, optical waveguide fibers, and computer architecture and networking equipment. Our experience also extends to medical devices, industrial equipment, alkaline batteries, touchscreen technology, digital cameras and imaging, and a wide variety of consumer products.

We have handled cases involving standard essential patents (SEPs) that cover the industry-standard specifications for cellular communications. The ITC is at the leading edge of handling patent owner obligations to license SEPs on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. We are highly experienced with FRAND issues in patent disputes at the ITC.
