Bartkowski

Bartkowski PLLC is a boutique law firm focused on intellectual property and international trade litigation, with a practice centred on Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 before the U.S. International Trade Commission. The firm represents both patentees and importers in disputes involving imported goods, and handles enforcement of ITC remedial orders, appellate litigation arising from ITC and IP matters, and counselling on customs and border protection issues. Chambers and The Legal 500 have recognised the firm as a leading firm in Section 337 litigation.

Founded in 2021, the firm operates on a boutique model built on the premise that clients deserve more effective and efficient legal service. Its approach combines technical knowledge of the underlying technology with strategic understanding of ITC procedures, and emphasises focused, results-driven advocacy. The team brings decades of combined experience to its matters.

Founder Paul Bartkowski previously worked at the ITC's Office of the General Counsel, where he defended Commission decisions on appeal, and has also practised at top-tier patent litigation firms. The firm is based in McLean, Virginia, within the Washington, DC metropolitan area, and maintains a national ITC practice.
