Canon to Appeal ITC Determination

Regarding ITC’s determination on May 20, Canon quickly responded that it plans to appeal the ITC’s final determination terminating Investigation No. 337-TA-1106.

Canon claims that in reaching its decision, the ITC determined that the claims at issue should be interpreted narrowly to exclude the respondents’ accused products.

Canon believes that narrow interpretation is legally erroneous, and will appeal the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which will review the construction de novo, without deference to the ITC.
