Email The International Trade Commission and Cross Match Technologies Inc. requested rehearing of the December panel decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Suprema Inc. and Mentalix Inc. v. U.S. International Trade Commission. In Suprema, the panel concluded that the ITC has no authority under Section 337 to find induced infringement of method claims where the articles at issue do not directly infringe the claims at the time of importation. As a result, the Federal Circuit vacated an exclusion order barring the importation of Suprema’s fingerprint scanners based on the ITC’s finding that Suprema induced infringement of Cross Match’s method patent claim. https://www.cadwalader.com/resources/clients-friends-memos/the-federal-circuit-considers-petitions-for-rehearing-suprema--its-decision-defining-the-itcs-authority-to-police-induced-infringement
