337Info – Unfair Import Investigations Information System

337Info is an information retrieval system that contains data about USITC section 337 investigations, including:

  • the unfair act(s) alleged (patent, trademark, or copyright infringement; misappropriation of trade secrets; etc.)
  • the parties involved (current and historical)
  • the Administrative Law Judge(s) (ALJ(s)) and USITC staff assigned (current and historical)
  • the product(s) involved
  • current investigation status and key dates (hearing dates, target dates, etc.)
  • key dates in the procedural history (e.g., date of institution)
  • disposition of the investigation as a whole and by respondent
  • remedial order(s) issued
  • any appeals and/or ancillary proceedings

337Info brings together information that was previously spread across the USITC website and presents it in a single, user-friendly, easy-to-navigate interface. It features a robust search capability that enables users to identify investigations of interest; track ongoing investigations, appeals, and ancillary proceedings from filing to disposition; and conduct research with ease. 337Info currently includes information about investigations instituted or otherwise initiated on or after October 1, 2008. These investigations include violation-phase, enforcement, bond forfeiture, and modification proceedings, as well as investigations following a remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The data will generally be updated within three business days of a Commission or ALJ action. 337Info is not a document repository. To view official documents filed in USITC investigations, users may use the USITC Electronic Document Information System (EDIS).”
