A Brattle team was retained by counsel for the complainants – Electrolux Home Products, Inc. (Electrolux) and KX Technologies, LLC (KXT) – in a US International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation into the patent infringement of certain refrigerator water filters. Brattle analyzed and provided expert testimony on the domestic investments made by the complainants, as well as the barriers to and costs of entering the US market in support of a GEO. The ITC issued a GEO that banned infringing water filters from any source, even infringing water filters from unnamed respondents.
