US Steel To Argue For Section 337 Claims in Court
Written by Sandy Williams
The US Steel will be in court on March 14 presenting oral arguments opposing the dismissal of antitrust claims in its Section 337 complaint against China.
The US International Trade Commission initiated a Section 337 investigation on June 2, 2016 in response to a complaint by US Steel regarding the import of carbon and alloy steel products from China. US Steel alleged that Chinese steel manufacturers: 1) conspired to fix prices and control the output and export volumes of steel products to restrain or monopolize trade and commerce in the United States; 2) misappropriated trade secrets; and 3) engaged in false designation of origin or manufacturer.
