RESOLVED, IPO supports, in principle, amending 19 U.S.C. 1337 (“Section 337”) to grant authority to the U.S. International Trade Commission to issue Limited Exclusion Orders against downstream products of non-parties in Section 337 investigations, thereby rendering moot that aspect of the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Kyocera Wireless Corporation v. International Trade Commission, 545 F.3d 1340 (2008); and
FURTHER RESOLVED, in addition to proving such relief is warranted, any implementing legislation or rules must require parties seeking such downstream relief to provide prompt and timely specific notice to affected manufacturers and importers of such downstream products.
