Event Synopsis:
Over the last 10 years, the number of patent infringement disputes filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has increased dramatically. Cases at the ITC usually involve tele-communication devices, but also include a wide range of medical devices. The cases involving medical devices suggest that manufacturers and importers should monitor and address any issues that place them at risk of litigation relating to Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. The Act allows U.S. intellectual property owners to seek exclusion orders barring the importation of infringing devices into the United States.
Medical device cases focus almost exclusively on patent infringement, but may include other unfair acts. Remedy under Section 337 is prospective. Uniquely there is a ‘domestic industry requirement’ in which the manufacturer must show significant US investment in production, research, development, engineering, and licensing of a device. Careful planning for Section 337 issues by complainants and quick decisions by respondents are required to ensure a favorable out-come and reduce the risk of litigation. Public interest issues are of particular concern for medical devices. In a two hour live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the Intellectual Property Infringement of Medical Devices and Litigation Trends and Practices of the US ITC in 2015.
Key issues that will be covered in this course include:
Patent Infringement of Medical Devices
Role of US International Trade Commission
Tariff Act of 1930 – Section 337
Violations and Sanctions Under Section 337
Pitfalls and Opportunities
Direct Actions for Patent Disputes
Assessing Medical Device Infringement Cases
Recent Trends and Regulatory Updates
Litigation Risks
