Third-Party Subpoenas in ITC Section 337 Proceedings

Episode 15

Wednesday, January 24, 2024 • Duration 20:04

Many litigations require discovery not just from the parties to the dispute, but from other entities—and Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission are no different. But there are many unique aspects of third-party subpoena practice at the ITC. On this episode of Ropes & Gray's ITC-focused podcast series, Talkin' Trade, IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, Rachael Bacha, and Brendan McLaughlin discuss the ins and outs of obtaining, enforcing, and responding to third-party subpoenas under the tight timelines of Section 337 proceedings.

Early Off-Ramps from ITC Section 337 Investigations?

Episode 14

Thursday, August 17, 2023 • Duration 18:25

Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission are known for their speed. But in recent years, the ITC has introduced multiple avenues designed to resolve some of these cases even more quickly—including just a few months after institution. On this episode of Ropes & Gray’s ITC-focused podcast series, Talkin’ Trade, IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, and Brendan McLaughlin are joined by summer associate Ava Kamb to examine the development and history of the ITC’s so-called “100-day program,” as well as the more recent interim initial determination pilot program. They discuss the purpose and motivations behind these early disposition proceedings, the mechanics of how they are invoked and progress to a resolution, and consider whether these programs have lived up to expectations.

Trade Secrets, False Advertising, Antitrust, Oh My! — Non-Statutory Claims at the ITC

Episode 13

Monday, July 17, 2023 • Duration 19:57

While the overwhelming majority of Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission involve patent infringement claims, the ITC is empowered to prohibit an extremely broad set of unfair trade practices and unfair methods of competition. In fact, courts have noted that Section 337 is “broad enough to prevent every type and form of unfair practice” associated with the importation of goods into the United States. On this episode of Talkin’ Trade, Ropes & Gray IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Cassandra Roth, Matt Shapiro, and Brendan McLaughlin discuss the wide variety of claims that may be brought under this subsection of the statute and address some unique aspects of how the ITC adjudicates them.

How to “Fix” Section 337 and the ITC

Episode 12

Tuesday, February 7, 2023 • Duration 24:35

Over the past few decades, the ITC has become increasingly focused on intellectual property—and specifically patent—disputes between domestic companies. According to some legislators and commentators, this shift has led the application of Section 337 astray from its original intent: adjudicating unfair trade practices in the importation of goods from foreign countries. Thus, over the past decade, there have been a number of proposed tweaks to Section 337, or the ITC more generally, to address issues like alleged non-practicing entity abuse of the ITC or alleged unfair trade practices implemented by China, such as forced technology transfer. In this episode of Talkin’ Trade, Ropes & Gray IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, Brendan McLaughlin, and Nancy Attalla discuss some of the recent proposals and how they would change Section 337 practice.

Examining the Interplay Between the ITC and District Courts

Episode 11

Tuesday, November 29, 2022 • Duration 20:42

In many cases, ITC investigations are not stand-alone proceedings—Section 337 complaints are often accompanied by complaints filed in federal district court. These parallel complaints often are based upon the very same unfair acts underlying the alleged Section 337 violation, such as patent infringement, trademark infringement, or trade secret misappropriation. In this episode of Talkin’ Trade, Ropes & Gray IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, Brendan McLaughlin, and Meredith Foor explore the issues created by such parallel complaints, including the potential for litigation on two fronts and the possible preclusive effect—or lack thereof—of Commission determinations.

All About Ancillary Proceedings

Episode 10

Tuesday, September 6, 2022 • Duration 20:05

Ropes & Gray’s podcast series Talkin’ Trade explores the world of Section 337 unfair import investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission. Much of the focus of Section 337 litigation at the ITC is on the “violation” phase, where the Commission determines in the first instance whether to issue an exclusion order or cease and desist order. But ITC litigants should not lose sight of follow-on proceedings where these remedial orders can be modified or rescinded, or the ITC can impose civil penalties to enforce these orders. In this episode, Ropes & Gray IP litigators Matt Rizzolo, Matt Shapiro, Brendan McLaughlin, and Becca Gentilli shed some light on these so-called “ancillary proceedings,” explaining why and how they are used, who presides over them, and comparing and contrasting them to other post-violation procedural options.
