A Powerful Weapon Against Infringing Imports

U.S. companies have a number of options when confronting the challenge of counterfeits or other types of IP infringement from imports. There are the district courts, with certain venues notably more effective than others. There are post-patent grant proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. There is also the option of a hearing before the U.S. International Trade Commission, under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. An article by Dickinson Wright attorney H. Jonathan Redway makes the case that the latter is far and away the most effective way to go.
