On May 4, 2026, Eric Krause will speak on “The Evolving Landscape of Domestic Industry: Assessing the Impact of Lashify and DI Disputes Involving Multi-Component Investigations” at ACI’s ITC Litigation & Enforcement Summit.
The panel will cover:
- One year after Lashify: How the broadened DI standard is operating in practice and what patterns have emerged from recent Commission and ALJ decisions
- Have Section 337 filings increased as expected? A look at filing data, complainant profiles, and shifts in enforcement strategy following the decision
- How Lashify is influencing the advice practitioners provide to clients regarding DI planning, U.S. investments, and evidentiary preparation
- The rise of multi-component product DI disputes: Key recent investigations and the central question of whether DI can be based on investments tied to an entire product when only one component is patented
- What practitioners expect next: Upcoming decisions that may clarify or reshape the DI analysis for complex / multi-component products—and how this could alter complaint strategy, discovery, and case selection going forward
