International Trade Commission
When market competition is fierce, protecting your IP rights can make all the difference. High-stakes, business-focused IP litigation before the International Trade Commission (ITC) can offer speedy and substantive resolutions for companies. The ITC has the authority to investigate imported products that infringe another’s patent, trademark, copyright, or trade secret IP rights and exclude such products from entering the United States.
When it's winner takes all, you need the right partner – the partner with the most experience, a real understanding of getting business done, and a one-of-a-kind team that knows how this complex forum operates. With our Hogan Lovells ITC team, you stand the best chance of getting the outcome that is right for your business.
