Committee on the International Trade Commission (ITC)
 
The Committee on the ITC is comprised of new and experienced practitioners who have a special interest in representing clients before the U.S. International Trade Commission ("USITC") in Section 337 investigations.  The Committee considers rules, regulations and  decisions related to litigation before the USITC.  The Committee also reviews notices issued by the Commission, as well as any proposed rules and, when appropriate, makes recommendations and provides comments to the Commission.  The Committee is also involved in planning and presenting CLE programs at AIPLA meetings to  provide further education to AIPLA members on practice before the USITC.
