Abstract
In an investigation by the International Trade Commission (“ITC” or “Commission”) under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (“Section 337”) a complainant must satisfy two unique statutory criteria. First, a complainant must establish that the ITC has jurisdiction, usually by showing importation of an accused product. Second, a complainant must demonstrate that a domestic industry exists or is in the process of being established. A practitioner can be assured that the ITC’s jurisdiction is expansive and reaches foreign-based activities that affect U.S. commerce. Such actions can involve any unfair act and can be brought regardless of whether personal jurisdiction may be obtained, so long as the complainant has the requisite domestic activities.
