ITC Section 337 investigation instituted Feb. 15, 2006, on Align's complaint against OrthoClear, Inc. et al. Asserted claims included U.S. 6,398,548 claims 21, 22, 24-30, 32-36, 38, and 39, along with numerous other Align patents and trade-secret claims; terminated by consent order implementing the Align-OrthoClear global settlement.
Align brought an ITC enforcement proceeding under 19 C.F.R. § 210.75 to enforce the 337-TA-562 Consent Order against ClearCorrect Operating, LLC, ClearCorrect Pakistan (Private), Ltd., and four individuals. The ITC found a violation of the consent order, leading to Federal Circuit appeals.
Consolidated Federal Circuit appeals (Nos. 2013-1240 and 2013-1363) arising from the ITC enforcement proceeding and the 337-TA-562 Consent Order that covered U.S. 6,685,469 among the patents-in-suit.
En banc Federal Circuit decision, 810 F.3d 1283, holding that the ITC's Section 337 jurisdiction does not extend to the electronic transmission of digital data. The appeal arose from the ClearCorrect enforcement proceeding tied to the 337-TA-562 Consent Order that covered U.S. 6,685,469.
