International Enforcement of U.S. Patents
By: Robert C. Pozen and Jordan Hirsch
Abstract
A company that owns a U.S. patent can enforce its patent protections in three ways: by filing a lawsuit in U.S. federal district court, by bringing action in the International Trade Commission, or through the World Trade Organization. This note discusses the pros and cons of pursuing either of the latter two avenues for recourse.
