Event Synopsis:

With 74 new complaints filed in fiscal year 2018, the International Trade Commission (ITC) remains to be an attractive forum for intellectual property (IP) litigation. However, in recent years, Section 337 investigations on non-patent claims have also significantly increased. These non-statutory complaints include trade secret theft, antitrust, unfair competition, and false advertising claims. Complainants recognize the perceived effectiveness of Section 337 remedies which make the ITC a favorable venue for both statutory and non-statutory claims.

Join a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of prosecuting and/or defending against ITC claims and as they delve into the depth-analysis of the current trends and recent investigations. Speakers will also provide the audience with practical strategies in bringing out the best in these disputes in a rapidly evolving legal climate.

Key topics include:

ITC Section 337 Investigations: Overview and Statistics
Recent Trends
Notable Cases
Revised Rules on ITC Proceedings
Best Litigation Strategies
