Randall R.

Rogers of the United States International Trade Commission shall be in attendance, together with leading government officials, in-house counsel and preeminent outside counsel who will offer practical advice for seizing the opportunities and meeting the challenges offered by fast-paced ITC litigation.

On Friday the 26th, Crowell & Moring partner Kathryn Clune will co-deliver a Master Class on on Section 337 Complaints and Responses. Successfully teeing up the issues for a Section 337 action is a complex process that involves strategic decisions for counsel and clients, particularly in the preparation of complaints and responses to complaints. This Master Class will provide valuable guidance for preparing these essential documents that form the basis of a ITC action. It will provide:

• A paragraph-by-paragraph review of an effective Section 337 complaint
• Step-by-step preparation of a complete response to the complaint
• Essential and strategic considerations in preparing a Section 337 complaint
