USITC and exclusion orders are rendered void if everything was made domestically

You can limit patent holders options by bringing supply chain here

Just another incentive

Hey and we wont have to play geopolitical football with random conflicts around the world just so Taiwan feels safe, for now. We could ignore them all and let some other countries pick up the slack if anybody actually cares to misappropriate their resources like we do.

All the chips are in our hands and its only a net benefit for us

Correct. Companies want to offshore their stuff then want protection from the US gov paid for via us citizens.

Sure, you might get USITC off your back if manufacturing was domestic, but surely there are other agencies tasked with patent enforcement once you're onshore?

Onshore patent enforcement is mostly just private litigation, there aren't domestic "patent police".

Exactly, if a court actually finds damages then the monetary tally just racks up as you keep making money from a product, but no federal agency currently has authority to stop you from selling the product at all. maybe a judge could go that far, but thats not been the path and its a super high bar to get that far

No, a court absolutely can issue a permanent injunction on further sales as well as damages for past behavior, and defying such a court order (as well as being the basis for further civil litigation by the offended private party) absolutely can be the basis of civil and or criminal contempt actions by the originating court and compulsory enforcement actions related to that by law enforcement (US Marshals, in the case of a federal court order.)

exactly like my following sentence says ok, strange quoting choice

yes it a judge does that it moves into the existing process for any order or collections
