Husch Blackwell LLP’s ITC practice utilizes the firm’s expertise in international trade and intellectual property to represent clients in Section 337 investigations across various sectors, including biotech, automotive, and manufacturing. The team is well-equipped to handle cases involving competitor disputes, as well as defensive cases against non-practicing entities. The team is led by Beau Jackson, who splits his time between Kansas City and Washington DC; given his ‘wealth of ITC and international trade experience’, Jackson serves as lead counsel in all of the team’s ITC cases. In St Louis, Jennifer Hoekel and Kara Fussner are experienced patent litigators who offer further support.
