Defending Intellectual Property: Is Section 337 the Right Answer?

Wednesday, March 28, 2018 9:30 am - 11:30 am
CSIS Headquarters

For 88 years, Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 has been a powerful trade tool to enforce intellectual property rights in the United States and protect the U.S. market from improper foreign imports. Marking 30 years since it was last significantly amended, the CSIS Scholl Chair releases its report analyzing Section 337, its evolution to a tool for protecting intellectual property, and future expectations for the law and its implementing body, the International Trade Commission. Join us for this discussion hosted by William A. Reinsch, Senior Adviser and Scholl Chair in International Business. The featured keynote will be Tom Schaumberg, along with panelists Deanna Okun, David Long, and Ben Levi.
