Cases that go before the International Trade Commission (ITC) may involve allegations that products being imported into the United States infringe on US patents. Douglas Frank has expertise in ITC cases through his work on several significant matters.
For example, one dispute before the ITC involved healthcare technology. Prior to Bates White, Dr. Frank worked on this case on behalf of the patent owner to rebut alleged harms to the public interest from a proposed (and subsequently upheld) exclusion order against a company alleged to have infringed patents related to ECG technology. In another dispute, Dr. Frank performed qualitative analysis and market analysis on behalf of defendants to calculate the economic impact of prohibiting the import of certain automobiles accused of incorporating patent-infringing components.
