Hehe, there is definitely something structurally wrong with the ITC and how they execute their responsibilities. First time I read about an ITC case was the Broadcom vs Qualcomm case in 2007, where it issued an absolutely nutso set of decisions. It was in their power to ban basically all cellular and wireless communications devices (cell phones, pagers, routers, whathaveyou) as Broadcom and Qualcomm IP is in every single device with wireless networking in existence. They definitely are confusing their job of protecting US consumers versus protecting companies, and they definitely have favorites.
In the AliveCor vs Apple patent case, the patent appeal board invalidated the patents that was asserted in the AliveCor vs Apple ITC case. About 2 weeks later, rather than just dismiss the case or put the case on pause, the ITC issued a decision that Apple violated AliveCor's invalidated patents, Apple Watches with the EKG features are banned from being imported, but that import action is stayed pending AliveCor's appeal of the invalidation of their patents. Absolutely nutty.
