1 In addition to §337 itself, the panel considered the related §337a, 19 U.S.C. §1337a (1982), repealed by Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988, Pub. L. No. 100-418, §1342, 102 Stat. 1215, which extended the application of §337 to imported products produced abroad by means of a process patented in the United States. References below to §337 should be understood to include §337a. Section 337 was extensively amended by the 1988 Act, supra, §§ 1214(h)(3), 1342, 102 Stat. 1157, 1212. The findings of the panel, however, are limited to §337 as it stood in October 1987, the date the panel was established.

2 The Community expressly refrained from challenging the application of §337 procedures in nonpatent investigations.
