"The ITC is on our side. It was set up to protect US business, manufacturing etc from unfair competition. US companies that have paid out good money for our MMP license deserve that protection from imports that have not paid."
ITC is not a monolithic block. There are several different judges assigned to several different cases. I seriously doubt every judge is going to judge in TPL's favor in each individual case. What then?.....Is there an Appeal Process OR is the ITC plan-of-attack for that individual case history?..Leaving Federal Court as the only other venue to plead our case for that individual case. A stain that may be hard to erase with the Federal judge.
"US companies that have paid out good money for our MMP license deserve that protection from imports that have not paid." Comment - Like $1M for Ford & Disney..License fee amounts like that do not inspire confidence.
