improvements to the process and criteria utilized during exclusion order enforcement activities. Recommendations should include, but need not be limited to: Changes to agency policies, practices or methods, guidance and regulation.

Within six months of the issuance of the Administration’s 2013 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement, the interagency working group will prepare recommendations.
Questions

1. Please describe your, positive or negative, experience with the exclusion order enforcement processes.

2. Are the procedures, criteria, and regulations utilized by CBP when enforcing exclusion orders clear, accessible, and understood?

a. Please provide recommendations for enhancements to procedures, criteria, and regulations used during enforcement of exclusion orders?

3. Are the procedures and criteria used by CBP to evaluate the scope of an exclusion order effective and clearly understood?

a. If not, please provide a description of the problem experienced?

b. What improvements could be made to the procedures and criteria used by CBP when evaluating the scope of an exclusion order to assist with the determining whether an import is covered by the claims of the infringing patent?

c. Under CBP’s current ruling request process, 19 CFR part 177, an importer may seek a prospective ruling on whether a redesigned or new product falls within the scope of an exclusion order. Determinations of this kind are often initiated at the request of the importer (typically the product manufacturer) and are conducted through ex parte proceeding. Would development of an inter partes proceeding involving relevant parties to the ITC investigation enhance the efficiency, transparency and efficacy of the exclusion order enforcement process with respect to determining the scope of the exclusion order?

4. Are the processes used by CBP timely and effective in notifying interested parties, for example, ITC litigants, importers and the general public, of determinations made regarding the scope of an exclusion order and, in turn, applicability to the imported product?

5. What further procedural changes or collaborative steps could be undertaken between the ITC and CBP to improve the efficacy of exclusion order enforcement efforts? 6. Do exclusion orders currently provide sufficient level of detail and direction necessary to assist CBP with the challenges of enforcement?

7. Please identify any additional areas of consideration regarding improvements that could be undertaken by CBP or the ITC to further improve upon the exclusion order enforcement processes?
