Greenberg Traurig‘s ITC service offering includes a wide range of proceedings, including Section 337 investigations, exclusion orders, and appeals. The team adeptly handles filings to the ITC regarding infringing imports, while also being a key choice for clients facing allegations of infringement. With a proven track record in managing disputes between competitors, the members are sought after by domestic patent holders seeking to bar foreign manufacturers from the US market, frequently coordinating with teams from different jurisdictions. New York-based Scott Bornstein leads the practice, with a longstanding reputation as a trial and global litigation expert. Houston’s Dwayne Mason is also a core member of the group, sporting wide experience in various US forums, including the International Chamber of Commerce, while Cyrus Frelinghuysen in Washington DC can advise on matters involving the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
