Supreme Court Urged to Dismiss Roku’s Challenge on ITC’s Patent Enforcement Authority


In a recent development, a company has reached out to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing against the necessity of revisiting a decision that endorses the U.S. International Trade Commission’s authority to prohibit the importation of patent-infringing software. The company characterized the decision as “unremarkable” and suggested that the issues raised by streaming television company Roku are “redundant.” Roku had petitioned against the ITC’s decision, but the company maintains that there is no compelling reason for the Supreme Court to intervene.
