Section 337 Investigations

King & Spalding’s Section 337 practitioners have a level of experience and effectiveness that is unmatched in representing clients at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) and U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We have advised on some of the largest, most complex and precedent-setting cases ever litigated at the ITC. We help companies increase their value, market share, profits, and assets via Section 337 litigation, and defend companies from allegations of unfair acts.

Led by Jeffrey Telep, a past president of the ITC Trial Lawyers Association, our team has the know-how to litigate Section 337 investigations effectively: IP and technical knowledge; extensive hearing and procedural experience at the ITC; inter partes review experience at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office; IP appellate experience; and a top-tier governmental relations practice. Our professionals include engineers, scientists, and programmers with decades of experience across industries and professions, including Ph.Ds.
