ITC Litigation

Trial-Ready, Technically Fluent Counsel in Section 337 Investigations

Sheppard represents complainants and respondents in complex Section 337 investigations at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), with teams built to execute on the ITC’s high-stakes matters and compressed schedule.

 

Drawing on extensive trial experience before the ITC, our success comes from early case strategy, technical command and forum expertise.

Focused ITC Advocacy to Protect Important Business Goals and Products

Sheppard’s ITC teams combine deep trial experience with seamless end-to-end representation—from pre-filing strategy through evidentiary hearing, Commission review, Federal Circuit appeal and CBP enforcement.

ITC litigation demands speed, precision and judgment. The ITC is among the most powerful and fastest forums for disputes involving imported products accused of IP infringement, trade secret misappropriation and other unfair acts. Through Section 337 investigations, the ITC can issue exclusion orders that bar accused products from entering the U.S., creating immediate leverage for complainants and significant commercial risk for respondents. 

We build case strategy from the outset, aligning litigation choices to business goals, and executing under sustained pressure.
