Brief Description of Case Type:
[1] General 337 adjudications: Most of the cases in this scheme fall under the same basic process (the formal APA process used to determine whether a party violated § 1337). In these cases, the complainant usually seeks an exclusion order, a cease-and-desist order, or a similar order intended to remedy unfair importation acts, including imports that infringe IP rights. The Commission may also investigate a violation of § 1337 on its own initiative. See 19 U.S.C. § 1337(b)(1).
