Patexia’s latest report provides a comprehensive analysis of 406 U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) Section 337 investigations, 985 asserted patents, and 357 law firms, 4,375 attorneys, and 1,855 companies that participated in these investigations.

Santa Monica, CA (February 27, 2025): Patexia, the leader in IP and litigation intelligence, today announced the publication of its 2025 ITC Intelligence Report, a definitive resource analyzing six years of data collected from the ITC investigations. The report reveals a 40% year-over-year surge in Section 337 investigations in 2024, signaling a resurgence in high-stakes IP enforcement amid global trade tensions and technological innovation.

Key Findings from the 2025 ITC Intelligence Report:

  • Six-Year Trends – A total of 406 Section 337 investigations were initiated at the ITC between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2024.
  • 40% Increase in 2024 – A rebound to 70 cases, reversing the 36.71% decline in 2023.
  • 985 Patents Involved – With an average of 2.43 patents per case, technology-driven industries continue to rely on the ITC for patent enforcement.
  • Sector Hotspots: Computing systems (G06F), telecommunications (H04L), video processing and display technologies (H04N), and semiconductor devices (H01L)  dominated disputes.
