7 337 Investigations: Accused Products 7
8 Perspectives from an Operating Entity 1. Since 2011 (69 investigations instituted), about 40 or less cases are instituted each year. What are the reasons causing the decreases? 2. What percentage of the ITC cases were filed by operating entities vs. NPEs each year? How can an NPE satisfy the domestic industry requirement? 3. Why would a company choose the ITC forum, instead of a federal district court, to stop IP infringement? 8
9 Some Empirical Findings of ITC Litigation: Perspective of Asian Enterprises 1. What are your findings of ITC litigations from the perspective of Asian enterprises? 2. In the past 5 years, more than 1/3 of the respondents in the ITC were Asian enterprises. Why were so many Asian enterprises sued at the ITC? 3. How can Asian enterprises change this trend? 9
10 Standard-Essential Patents and FRAND Defense at the ITC 1. What are the advantages and disadvantages to enforce SEPs in the ITC? 2. Since the ITC has no jurisdiction in determining damages, how can the ITC determine whether the patentee of a SEP meet the FRAND requirement, including the FRAND royalty? 3. How can a respondent assert a FRAND defense in the ITC? 10
11 Questions? Questions from the audience: 11

20 ITC Remedies Two types of remedies available upon a finding of violation: exclusion orders and cease-and-desist orders. Both are injunctive in nature and prospective in scope. Money damages are not available at the ITC, although civil penalties may be assessed in certain narrow circumstances. Remedy 1. Exclusion 2. Cease-anddesist 1a. General exclusion 1b. Limited exclusion Note: Remedies at ITC can be both Ceaseand-Desist Order and Exclusion Order. ITC orders are enforced by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), a component of the Department of Homeland Security.

22 WHY CHOOSE ITC LITIGATION?
23 When to Choose ITC for Litigation? Any importation to the U.S.? Owns a valid U.S. patent, copyright or trademark? Complainant satisfy Domestic Industry requirement? Against multiple parties over multiple jurisdictions? Nation wide or worldwide discovery necessary? Is time of essence?
24 Why to File Cases at ITC? Extremely expedited proceedings Single case, multiple respondents, different Jurisdictions In Rem jurisdiction over foreign manufacturers Potentially Stronger Injunction Equivalent Immediate and significant threat (60-day after presidential review) No Jury concerns
25 Limitations of ITC Litigation Front-end loaded costs ITC s decisions are not binding on a US district court Domestic Industry requirement for the complainant Significant public interest issues considerations Stricter in finding violations of NPE complainants Very rare SEP related remedial orders
