ITC – Section 337

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) is an increasingly popular venue for patent infringement litigation. More and more companies are seeking to halt importations of infringing products into the United States by turning to the ITC for expedited relief. Section 337 investigations conducted by the ITC provide complainants with a “fast track” to remedy IP matters that typically go to trial within 10 months.

Kathi Vidal Discusses Winston & Strawn Amicus Brief Filed in Ollnova v. Ecobee With Managing IP

Winston & Strawn partner Kathi Vidal spoke with Managing IP to discuss the amicus brief filed by the firm on behalf of SAP America, Inc., HP, Inc., Forescout Technologies, Inc., and High Tech Inventors Alliance (HTIA) in Ollnova v. Ecobee. The brief argued that the jury instruction and verdict form contradicted existing case law related to Section 101 because they didn’t properly take into account that advances that lie entirely in the “realm of abstract ideas” are ineligible for patenting.
