The Commission also considered aggravating factors, including that (1) the attorney and the economist did not discover the breach themselves, but were instead informed of the breach by counsel for petitioners; and (2) the brief was publicly available on the Commission’s website for two days and was accessed by at least one individual who was not authorized to view the BPI. The Commission issued private letters of reprimand to the attorney and the economist. Case 8. The Commission determined that two attorneys representing the complainant breached an APO in a section 337 investigation when they sent an email attachment containing information that had been designated as CBI by the respondent to the complainant’s employees. In this case, an attorney representing the complainant sent to the complainant’s employees an email that appended portions of the complainant’s draft pre-hearing brief which included CBI, asking them to read it and provide comments. A second attorney of the same law firm, who was responsible for the day-to-day management of this investigation for the complainant, was copied on the email. One of the complainant’s employees then transmitted the document in question to the complainant’s directors and other of the complainant’s employees. The attorneys’ law firm learned of the disclosure on a phone call with the complainant’s employees. The law firm’s counsel then spoke to the respondent’s counsel and alerted the administrative law judge of the breach. Thereafter, the administrative law judge conducted a telephone conference with the parties and ordered, inter alia, that the complainant retain an independent forensic expert to produce a record of the scope and timing of the disclosure of the CBI to the complainant’s employees. At the completion of the report, all CBI in the complainant’s possession was to be destroyed. In determining the appropriate action in response to the breach, the Commission considered mitigating factors, including that (1) the breach was inadvertent; (2) complainant’s counsel self-reported the breach and took prompt action to destroy all copies of the disclosed document and prevent further dissemination; (3) respondent was not seeking further sanctions; and (4) neither attorney had previously been found in violation of an APO. The Commission also considered aggravating factors, including that (1) the VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:03 Apr 23, 2018 Jkt 244001 confidential material was reviewed by several individuals at the complainant who were not authorized to view the CBI; and (2) that weeks had passed before the breach was discovered. The Commission issued a private letter of reprimand to the attorney who first sent the offending email to the complainant’s employees. The Commission also issued a warning letter to the second attorney, who exercised inadequate oversight over the CBI in question (including a failure to observe that the attachment sent to the complainant was replete with respondent’s CBI). Case 9. The Commission determined that a law firm representing the complainant did not breach an APO in a section 337 investigation. Respondent’s counsel alleged that the law firm used CBI without authorization to prepare and file a new complaint at the Commission. However, for each alleged instance of an improper disclosure of CBI, the law firm was able to show that the information alleged to be CBI was available in the public record.
