Not Mere Litigation: Using the ITC When Infringing Products Have Already Been Imported or Not All of the Importing Competitors are Known

Steve Adkins and Matthew Bathon authored an article for the State Bar of Michigan’s Intellection Property Law Section Proceedings titled “Not Mere Litigation: Using the ITC When Infringing Products Have Already Been Imported or Not All of the Importing Competitors are Known.”  The article examines how a Section 337 proceeding can be used to enforce intellectual property rights against infringing importers and how working with Customs permits a more customized remedy to stop further importation of infringing goods than is available in district courts.
