Practice Area
The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) is an increasingly popular venue for patent infringement litigation. More and more companies are seeking to halt importations of infringing products into the United States by turning to the ITC for expedited relief. Section 337 investigations conducted by the ITC provide complainants with a “fast track” to remedy IP matters that typically go to trial within 10 months. Since many Section 337 cases go to trial, selecting an ITC litigation team with a command of the technology, patent law, and specialized procedural practice is extremely important. We have handled more than 100 cases before the ITC.

Practice Area
International trade is essential for the growth and development of global economies and businesses. As international trade has expanded and developed, so too have the myriad rules and regulations that govern it. The global compliance environment is becoming more complex by the day and can be difficult to navigate without the assistance of experienced counsel. Failure to comply with international trade rules and regulations—even if done so unwittingly—can lead to civil and criminal penalties, monitorships, consent agreements, debarment, reputational damage, substantial administrative burden, legal expense, and unsatisfied business objectives. Increasingly, there also is exposure for individual officers/directors, which can include monetary penalties and, potentially, jail time.

What Is the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)?
The Federal Acquisition Regulation, commonly referred to as “FAR,” is a collection of regulations governing the process by which the federal government purchases products, supplies, and services. The FAR consists of 53 parts, each covering a different aspect of the government procurement process. FAR part 52, for example, provides solicitation provisions and clauses that can (and in some instances must) be inserted into contracts with the government. While the FAR applies to all executive agencies, many agencies, such as the Departments of Defense, State, and Veterans Affairs, have issued their own supplements to the FAR which provide regulatory guidance on contracting issues that are unique to them.
