YARDLEY, Pa., Dec. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On December 2, 2019, Jubilant DraxImage Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“Jubilant”) received notice of the favorable decision of the U.S. International Trade Commission (the “ITC”) in its case against Bracco Diagnostics Inc. (“Bracco”). The ITC affirmed and upheld, with modification, a final initial determination (FID) of the presiding administrative law judge (ALJ) finding that there was no violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. The ITC has now terminated this investigation.
This decision in Jubilant’s favor is in response to a complaint filed by Bracco with the ITC in May 2018. Bracco had alleged violations of section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 based on importation into the U.S. of certain strontium-rubidium radioisotope infusion systems including, generators by reason of infringement of certain patents. Because of this favorable decision by the full Commission, Jubilant will continue to be able to import its RUBY-FILL® system into the United States.
