Section 337 Patent Investigation Management Guide
A comprehensive product that presents the full range of options for managing ITC investigations and explains the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches.
Publisher: Matthew Bender Elite Products
International Order InquiryPatent litigation in the United States has grown steadily over the past 20 years. As District Courts became bogged down with such cases - - which can take 3 to 5 years to reach the trial stage - - many patent owners have gravitated toward the U.S. International Trade Commission's policing of unfair trade practices under Section 337 of the Trade Act. Section 337 Patent Investigation Management Guide is a comprehensive, user-friendly, and practical manual for experienced ITC professionals as well as new entrants to this important branch of patent enforcement. Organized around the contours of ITC investigations, this treatise provides invaluable insight into the nuances of ITC procedures. Section 337 Patent Investigation Management Guide also serves as a critical resource for companies seeking to evaluate their options, enforcement strategies, and defense tools, as well as for the full range of patent professionals - - many of whom have little experience with the ITC process.
