This week on IPWatchdog Unleashed we speak with F. Scott Kieff, who is a former Commissioner on the International Trade Commission, and Joshua Hartman, head of Merchant & Gould’s ITC practice group. Our conversation, which took place on June 4, focused on the landmark ruling by the Federal Circuit in Lashify, Inc. v. International Trade Commission. Our conversation is wide ranging and touches on the politics and history of the ITC, which Kieff explains is quite important to keep in mind as we try and decipher this decision that was 40 years in the making really. We also discuss whether the decision fits within an America First philosophy, and whether the ITC is likely to become a more accessible forum for other small business patent owners. We begin with Kieff giving us his preliminary thoughts.
