ITC Asks for Comments on Possible Section 337 Import Ban for Rubber Resins

The International Trade Commission is asking for comments by Aug. 14 on public interest factors raised by a possible ban on imports of rubber resins that infringe trade secrets held by SI group. An ITC administrative law judge in June recommended either a general exclusion order or limited exclusion orders on infringing imports. SI Group requested the underlying Section 337 investigation in May 2012 (see 12062041).
