Debating the Patent Jurisdiction of the International Trade Commission
September 12聽| 1:00 - 3:00pm EDT | Hybrid | Reception to follow
Over the past several decades, the US International Trade Commission has become a popular venue for patent litigation. It adjudicates cases quickly, has expertise in complex patent matters and issues powerful exclusion orders that stop an infringing product at the border.聽Yet the ITC shares jurisdiction over patent matters with the federal district courts in what some have criticized as a duplicative and inconsistent manner.聽This panel of legal and policy experts will discuss recent calls for reform of the ITC's patent jurisdiction and consider whether and how the jurisdiction of this century-old agency should adapt to the global technology markets of today.
