The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) is a specialized venue for enforcing patent rights that has reshaped the dynamics of litigation in the electronic arts, providing fast results yet presenting litigants with unique procedural and jurisdictional issues.  The number of patent cases filed at the ITC has risen dramatically in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue.  This talk will focus on the peculiarities of ITC investigations and will forecast what may be on the horizon for patent litigation in the areas of the chemical arts, optoelectronic materials and devices, and alternative energy technology.
