In the June 2008 issue of IP Law & Business, Alston & Bird was recognized as one of the top practices in the nation for handling International Trade Commission (ITC) Section 337 claims.
Section 337, the federal statute that governs patent claims, has seen a 25 percent rise in investigations by the ITC since 2006; shorter case lengths providing immediate results have prompted a surge in such investigations. Alston & Bird’s solid track record with the ITC, as well as the integral partnership between its International Trade and Intellectual Property Litigation practices, has new and existing clients regularly turning to the firm for counsel. Alston & Bird ranks among the most active firms in the nation for ITC Section 337 cases due in large part to its depth and expertise in the IP world, as well as the its historical reputation.
