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

>You can limit patent holders options by bringing supply chain here

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
