In a precedential opinion issued yesterday and authored by Judge Taranto, the Federal Circuit reversed the U.S. International Trade Commission’s (ITC or the Commission) long-standing practice of excluding investments in sales, marketing, warehousing, quality control, and distribution from consideration under the economic prong of the domestic industry requirement. In so doing, the Federal Circuit has vastly expanded the types of investments that can be asserted and, thus, the nature and type of complainants who can bring cases before the ITC.
