Abstract

Section 337 provides U.S, intellectual property rights owners unique and effective relief against infringing products imported into the United States. The USITC and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have already taken steps to limit the ability of patent trolls to use Section 337 through tightening the domestic industry requirement. Efforts to address purported abuse will ultimately negatively impact those that Section 337 was expressly amended to protect. Amendments to Section 337, therefore, are unnecessary.
