Foley Attorneys Author Article on ITC Automaker and Supplier Investigations

Foley & Lardner LLP partners David Hickerson and Spencer Montei and associate Jeffrey Grinde authored the World IP Review article, “Why auto firms are subject to more ITC probes and what they can do about it,” exploring the participation of automakers and their suppliers in Section 337 unfair trade investigations before the International Trade Commission (ITC) and how sector innovations will likely increase both the scope and subject matter of these investigations.

The authors discuss ITC investigations generally, the coming shift in ITC investigative focus for the automotive industry as a consequence of the incorporation of advanced technologies into vehicles, and proactive measures automakers and suppliers should consider to reduce the likelihood of being subject to a costly investigation.
