Abstract
Over the years, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has been actively involved in resolving unfair trade practices, especially patent infringement disputes under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Section 337 provides an avenue for investigation of unlawful practices in import trade, including infringement of intellectual property rights. In the past few years, under an increasingly complex legal landscape, cases, investigations, and proceedings under Section 337 have exponentially increased.
Looking ahead, more cases involving Section 337 are expected to arise. To avoid potential business and legal risks, companies should keep themselves abreast of the significant developments surrounding the ITC's Section 377.
In this Live Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will help the audience understand the fundamentals as well as recent developments in the ITC’s Section 337 Litigation & Enforcement. Speakers will also provide a sneak peek of what lies ahead in 2018 and beyond.
Key topics include:

• Resolution of Section 337 Disputes
• Types of Remedial Orders Under Section 337
• The ITC's 100-Day Early Disposition Program
• Notable Court Rulings and Decisions
