Summary

This is an International Trade Commission investigation, case number 337-TA-3738, involving US patent 10961602, and is currently in litigation.

Case overview & background

Plain-language overview of the case: parties, accused product, patents at issue, and why the suit matters.

This patent infringement litigation is an International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation, case number 337-TA-3738. As of July 17, 2026, specific details regarding the parties (complainant and respondents), the accused products or technologies, and the assigned Administrative Law Judge for this particular investigation are not readily available through public web searches of legal news outlets, court dockets, or the U.S. International Trade Commission's public notices. This suggests the investigation may be very recent, not yet publicly detailed in common sources, or the case number might require further clarification for specific results.

The litigation centers on US Patent 10,961,602. A one-line technical sketch of this patent describes its core invention, typically derived from its abstract and claims. However, specific details of the abstract and claims for US Patent 10,961,602 could not be directly retrieved from the current search results. In general, patents asserted in ITC investigations often cover a wide range of technologies, including consumer electronics, telecommunications, and other industries involving imported goods.

The procedural posture places this case before the U.S. International Trade Commission, which is a significant venue for intellectual property disputes, particularly patent infringement cases, due to its unique characteristics. The ITC operates under an accelerated schedule, often concluding investigations within 15-18 months from institution to a final determination, which is considerably faster than typical district court litigation. The primary remedy available at the ITC is an exclusion order, which can block infringing imported products from entering the United States, and cease and desist orders against domestic inventory. Unlike federal courts, the ITC does not award monetary damages, but its power to impose import bans makes it a powerful forum for patent holders seeking injunctive relief against foreign infringers. ITC investigations are presided over by Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) who conduct evidentiary hearings and issue Initial Determinations, subject to review by the full Commission. The notability of 337-TA-3738, in terms of industry impact, specific assertion patterns (e.g., by a Non-Practicing Entity), or any related inter partes reviews (IPRs), cannot be determined without more specific information on the parties and the nature of the alleged infringement. However, any ITC patent infringement case carries inherent notability due to the potential for significant disruption to supply chains and markets through exclusion orders.

Key legal developments & outcome

Major rulings, motions, claim construction, settlements, and the present posture or final disposition.

No Active ITC Investigation 337-TA-3738 Identified for Patent 10,961,602

As of July 17, 2026, a comprehensive search for an International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation under the case number 337-TA-3738, or any ITC investigation specifically asserting U.S. Patent No. 10,961,602, did not yield any active or past proceedings. Recent ITC investigation numbers, such as 337-TA-1509 and 337-TA-1511, indicate that the provided case number 337-TA-3738 appears to be either a placeholder, an incorrect number, or refers to a non-existent or future investigation at this time.

Consequently, there are no specific legal developments, filings, motions, claim construction outcomes, discovery milestones, trial events, or final dispositions to report for an ITC investigation identified as 337-TA-3738 involving Patent No. 10,961,602.

Status of U.S. Patent No. 10,961,602 in Other Proceedings

As there is no discernible ITC litigation under the specified number for this patent, a search for any parallel proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) or other litigation involving U.S. Patent No. 10,961,602 was conducted.

A search of the USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Case Tracking System (P-TACTS) for Inter Partes Review (IPR) or Post-Grant Review (PGR) proceedings related to U.S. Patent No. 10,961,602 did not identify any active or concluded IPR or PGR challenges.

Without an identifiable litigation or PTAB proceeding, no further legal developments can be reported for U.S. Patent No. 10,961,602 at this time.

Plaintiff representatives

Counsel of record for the plaintiff(s): attorneys, firms, and roles (lead counsel, of counsel, local counsel).

I am unable to identify the counsel of record representing the plaintiff(s) in ITC case 337-TA-3738 because searches of the U.S. International Trade Commission's Electronic Document Information System (EDIS), the Federal Register, and the general USITC website do not yield any public records for an investigation with this specific case number or involving US Patent 10961602.

It is possible that the case has not yet been formally instituted by the ITC, or the provided case number is a placeholder or internal reference that is not publicly accessible. Without an official Notice of Institution or a public version of the complaint, the identities of the complainant(s) and their legal counsel cannot be determined.

Defendant representatives

Counsel of record for the defendant(s): attorneys, firms, and roles (lead counsel, of counsel, local counsel).

Based on available public information, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation with case number 337-TA-3738 does not appear to have been instituted or publicly documented. Without an instituted investigation, there are no identified respondents (defendants in an ITC context) or counsel of record to report.

ITC investigations are initiated after a complaint is filed and the Commission votes to institute an investigation, which is then published in the Federal Register. The provided case number, 337-TA-3738, does not appear in recent notices of institution or publicly accessible dockets. Therefore, information regarding the counsel of record representing defendant(s) in this specific case is not available.
