Proceedings Before The International Trade Commission
Department members have litigated disputes on behalf of clients under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which enables U.S. industries to obtain relief from unfair acts in importation. These unfair acts can involve:
- Patent, trademark and copyright infringement
- Misappropriation or violation of trade secrets
- Violation of antitrust laws
- Unfair competition claims
Section 337 proceedings before the International Trade Commission are unusual in that they ordinarily are completed within one year and hence require litigation expertise and a full-scale commitment of litigation resources.

We use this knowledge to counsel clients in advance of litigation on how to prosecute, as well as defend, unfair competition claims.
