Section 337 is the short form of section 1337 of the U.S. Traffic Act of 1930 , Over many years' amendment, Section 337 has developed into one of the primary means for the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to protect U.S. company's intellectual property rights.

Along with the ratio of the machinery product's export stays growing, American trade deficit gradually increase. In recent years, the number of Section 337 Investigation cases involving mechanical and electronic products from China is raising significantly. In 2006, mechanical and electronic product 337 cases accounting for 1/3 of the total. To do research on Section 337 and the export of Chinese mechanical and electronic products is important.Besides the preface and conclusion, Main body of the paper is from chapter 2 to chapter 6. The second chapter is a particular presentation about Section 337 includes the section's establishment, evolution, content, procedures and remedies. Be compared with Section 301 and TRIPs .This chapter introduced two international debates about Section 337.
