IP litigation partner Matt Rizzolo examined a Federal Circuit decision in the Lashify v. ITC case that simplified a key test for determining which patent owners are entitled to relief at the International Trade Commission that could increase the number of patent disputes at the ITC.

The Federal Circuit precedential decision vacated the ITC’s finding that eyelash extension company Lashiify had not satisfied the domestic industry requirement and noted that ITC judges should consider the investments in sales, marketing, warehousing or related activities when making this determination.
