ITC – Section 337

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....Read more

What Is the Domestic Industry Requirement?

The domestic industry requirement for Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) mandates that a complainant asserting patent infringement at the ITC, or complainant’s licensee, has made in the United States significant investments in plant and equipment, significant investments in labor or capital, or substantial investments in engineering, research and development, or licensing.

What Is Children’s Privacy Law?

An important children’s privacy law in the U.S. is the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). COPPA requires the Federal Trade Commission to issue and enforce regulations concerning the online privacy of those under age 13. The Commission’s first COPPA Rule took effect in 2000, and an amended Rule took effect in 2013. The primary goal of COPPA is to place parents in control over personal information collected from their children online. Its Rule applies to commercial websites, online services, and mobile apps that collect, use, or disclose children’s personal information. The Act applies to websites designed for children’s use but can also apply to general audience sites. Additionally, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that prevents the sharing of personal student data and educational records with third parties without parental consent. However, the law does allow schools to share student information with some types of educational vendors and consultants....Read more
