U.S. Trade Commission Investigates Alleged Violations of Foreign Tourniquet Import Ban

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has announced it will investigate allegations that certain importers are disregarding a prior ruling that prohibited the sale of foreign counterfeit tourniquet products. This comes after a complaint from a U.S.-based tourniquet manufacturer, asserting that these importers have been flouting last year’s ban on such unlawful goods. The review could have significant implications for the enforcement of intellectual property rights in the medical device sector. The details surrounding the complaint and the scope of the investigation can be explored further in the Law360 report.
