Are Commission decisions in Section 337 investigations appealable to a court?
Yes. Any person adversely affected by a Commission decision under Section 337 may appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Any such appeal must be filed within 60 calendar days of the date that the Commission decision became final. A party that prevailed at the Commission may intervene in the appeal in defense of the Commission decision. Commission decisions that find no violation of Section 337 are final when issued. Commission decisions that find a violation of Section 337 and result in the issuance of remedial orders become final at the conclusion of the Presidential review period.
