18 AIPLA U.S. Patent Litigation - ITC ITC – International Trade Commission Independent federal agency Responsible for international trade investigations, Harmonized Tariff Schedule; studies and reports for the President, USTR and the Congress Approximately 420 employees – including 24 Administrative Law Judges Six Commissioners appointed by the President and confirmed by U.S. Senate

19 AIPLA United States International Trade Commission Section 337 cases assigned to Administrative Law Judges Trials similar to District Court bench trials ITC Judges follow but not bound to Federal Rules of Evidence – (e.g., ALJs more likely to admit hearsay) ITC Judges render “Initial Determinations (IDs)” that are subject to review by Commission Exclusion orders may be reviewed by executive branch (through The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative) ITC Decisions may be appealed to Federal Circuit

20 AIPLA Overview of an ITC Patent Case ITC Remedies –Exclusion of products from US. Enforced by US Customs –Cease and desist orders. Enforced by ITC with civil penalties –No money damages Administrative Law Judge Commission Federal Appeals Court Initial Decision on merits Final Decision Orders remedy Appellate Decision Deferential on remedy issues

21 AIPLA Section 337: Substantive Elements Importation Accused products must be imported or sold off- shore for importation into U.S. ITC jurisdiction extends to sales in U.S. of imported products Infringement Direct or indirect infringement Federal Circuit precedent applies Domestic Industry (1) Economic prong (2) Technical prong

22 AIPLA United States International Trade Commission Why the ITC? –Speed Cases generally completed within 15 months Protective Order issues immediately Discovery commences immediately –IP Expertise 9/10 cases are Intellectual Property cases. –Broad Injunctive Remedies Directs U.S. Customs Service to deny entry at all U.S. ports Framework for Customs Service seizure and forfeiture An In Rem Order – Functions without regard to personal jurisdiction Can cover downstream products that contain an infringing component ITC procedures available to Complainant to broaden Customs enforcement (advisory opinion procedures, enforcement procedures, modification procedures)

23 AIPLA Disadvantages of ITC No money damages Speed as a detriment –Generally higher expense due to fast-pace of proceedings No Jury Trials

24 AIPLA ITC and District Court Often a parallel District Court case is filed Defendant can stay case as a matter of right ITC case will proceed to conclusion District Court stay can be lifted and case tried again, for money damages Commission determination on infringement and validity is persuasive but not binding

25 AIPLA Exclusion Order vs. Injunctive Relief ITC Exclusion Order - 19 USC § 1337 (d) (1) If the Commission determines, as a result of an investigation under this section, that there is a violation of this section, it shall direct that the articles concerned, imported by any person violating the provision of this section, be excluded from entry into the United States, unless… District Court Injunctive Relief - 35 USC § 283 The several courts having jurisdiction of cases under this title may grant injunctions in accordance with the principles of equity to prevent the violation of any right secured by patent, on such terms as the court deems reasonable. Supreme Court decision in eBay v. MercExchange and subsequent Federal Circuit decisions are controlling precedent

26 AIPLA Exclusion Order vs. Injunctive Relief eBay Factors Patent owner has suffered irreparable harm Remedies available at law, such as monetary damages, are inadequate Balance of the hardships are in favor of patent owner Public interest would not be disserved Note: Preliminary Injunction also includes a likelihood of success analysis Apple v. Samsung "Nexus" Test To show irreparable harm, must show a causal nexus between the harm alleged (e.g., loss of sales) and the infringing conduct. Patented feature must be THE driver of consumer demand for the competing product if relying on lost sales to show irreparable harm Exclusion Orders No irreparable harm requirement
