Mandatory Ownership and Rights Disclosure
If you are a nongovernment party or an intervenor in a Section 337 investigation, you must file a disclosure naming any parent corporation and any non-natural- person entity that owns your stock. You must also identify any person or entity (other than the complainant) that has the legal right to bring the Section 337 claim based on the unfair act(s) alleged.
Funding, Approval, and Filing Timing Rules
Nongovernment parties and intervenors must also disclose entities (other than counsel) that provide funding specifically for the Section 337 investigation and entities whose approval is necessary for litigation or settlement decisions, and must state the nature of those terms. The disclosure must include identity, business address, and place of formation (if a legal entity). Parties must file the disclosure statement concurrently with their filings (for example, with the complaint, response, motion to intervene, enforcement complaint, petitions to modify/rescind, and requests for advisory opinions), and related parties may file a single joint disclosure.
