What you get

Two ways to pull the data:

• Documents mode returns one row per docket filing: investigation number, filing type and title, the party it was filed on behalf of, the filing firm, accused products, investigation phase and status, official received date and a link to the filing's attachments.
• Investigations mode rolls a case up into one summary row: complainants, law firms on the docket, document count, first and last filing dates, the filing types present, and flags for whether the docket already has a complaint, notice of investigation, initial determination, final determination or a remedial exclusion / cease-and-desist order.

Only real filings are billed. A run that matches nothing costs nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Section 337 investigation? Section 337 is the US International Trade Commission forum where patent (and other IP) holders seek to block infringing imports. Each investigation can end in an exclusion order or cease-and-desist order, so it is high-stakes and closely watched by IP litigators and importers.

How do I find an investigation number? Use the 337-TA-#### format shown in ITC notices (for example 337-TA-1409). The scraper also accepts 337-1409 or just 1409.

Can I monitor for new complaints and determinations? Yes. Leave the investigation numbers empty and set a recent filed-from date, then filter by document type such as Complaint or Determination. Schedule the run to get a rolling feed.

Are the underlying documents included? Each filing row includes a link to its attachments so you can retrieve the public PDFs. Confidential filings are excluded by default.

How fresh is the data? Filings are read live at run time, so each record reflects the docket at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
