What makes the ITC such an important venue for intellectual property rights owners is the ability to rather quickly obtain injunctive relief in the form of an exclusion order. This is an important tool for patent owners because since the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision in eBay v. MercExchange in 2006, it is has been increasingly difficult, in fact absolutely impossible for many patent owners to obtain any form of injunctive relieve against infringers even after the infringer has been adjudicated as being liable as an infringer and the patent in question has withstood all challenges in all forums.
