In our latest article, "Chevron, Suprema and the Case of the Disappearing ITC Importation Requirement", Author Brian Johnson writes: With the fall of the Chevron deference standard in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, a number of IP practitioners have identified the International Trade Commission (ITC) as a potential agency that might feel the repercussions of that decision. That conversation has focused on the Federal Circuit's ruling in Suprema, Inc. v. ITC, 796 F.3d 1338 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (en banc). In Suprema, the Federal Circuit relied on Chevron deference to validate the ITC's position that it could investigate products used to infringe a method claim through a finding of induced infringement. Since that time, however, the impact of that opinion has not been limited to those facts. Instead, the ITC has used Suprema to justify jurisdiction over many products that do not infringe at the time of importation. Without Chevron deference, it is unclear whether the ITC will maintain such a broad jurisdiction.
