No other firm can provide inside perspective like we can. Our team is one of the only in the country that includes a former ITC judge, Theodore Essex, who served as an ITC judge for more than a decade. Our clients benefit from our insider knowledge and ability to connect with ITC staff and get issues resolved quickly.
Having handled more than 50 ITC cases, we have a proven track record of success, including at trial.
Our team includes 30 experienced ITC Section 337 lawyers and we have significant experience litigating every type of IP case at the ITC, including patent, trade secret, and trademark.
We are one of the only firms that can defend you globally. Section 337 investigations are cross-border in nature. Often, there are parallel cases in foreign jurisdictions, and ITC discovery frequently extends outside the United States.

Combined with our know how in customs proceedings though our leading International Trade practice, we have you covered from all angles.
