The International Trade Commission (ITC) is a federal government agency that investigates whether or not, and to what extent, an unfair practice harms U.S. businesses. ITC has been a popular forum to which businesses seeking to protect valuable intellectual property assets file complaints. In recent years, a large number of overseas companies, especially PRC companies, have been subject to ITC complaints and investigations under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (“Section 337 Investigations“).
YZ Law Firm has experience in all stages of Section 337 Investigations, from complaint filing to enforcement. We aim to provide effective legal representation and professional responses on behalf of clients when they face Section 337 investigations.
