Unfavorable Decision? Let Congress Help

The U.S. International Trade Commission is coming under fire from legislators who contend the agency is inordinately favoring foreign-owned companies over U.S. firms. The criticism reflects the growing attentiveness by members of Congress to issues important to high-tech companies that land before the ITC.
