Dominic L. Bianchi

Dominic L. Bianchi is a distinguished international trade and intellectual property lawyer with a specialized focus on Section 337 investigations before the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). His practice encompasses unfair trade litigation, trade remedy advocacy, and the resolution of high-stakes disputes involving allegations of patent, trademark, and copyright infringement related to imported articles.

With a career deeply rooted in government service, Mr. Bianchi spent over two decades at the ITC, culminating in his role as General Counsel from 2013 until April 2025. In this capacity, he served as the chief legal advisor to the Commission, managing complex litigation before U.S. courts and international tribunals, and achieved an agency affirmance rate nearing 90 percent before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Prior to his tenure at the ITC, he also held positions at the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and engaged in private practice. His experience at the ITC primarily involved defending the agency's determinations, as seen in his appearance in cases such as Bissell Inc. v. International Trade Commission and ITG Voma Corporation v. United States International Trade Commission AFL CIO CLC (2019).

In April 2025, Mr. Bianchi joined Polsinelli as a shareholder in their ITC Section 337 Litigation and Trade Remedies Practice in Washington, D.C. In this role, he advises clients on navigating complex regulatory environments, resolving international trade disputes, and ensuring compliance with export control regulations. His comprehensive experience includes guiding the Commission through investigations of patent, trademark, and copyright infringement, which constitute the majority of Section 337 cases.

Mr. Bianchi earned his Juris Doctor from Georgetown University Law Center in 1997 and a Bachelor of Science from Northwestern University in 1991. His professional experience prominently features his expertise in ITC proceedings, including testifying before the House Judiciary Committee's IP Subcommittee on patent litigation at the ITC. There is no publicly available information indicating his regular appearance in PTAB/IPR proceedings.
