Reasonable minds may disagree about how significant the gap is. Indeed, it could fairly be said that the investigation figure I report is 50% higher than the ITC’s (28% v. 19%), and that the sample size is too small to draw any statistical conclusions. Still, reporting the results together, the ITC and I agree that: (1) 43-47% of respondents at the ITC in the last 15-18 months are respondents named in NPE/PAE investigations; and (2) 19-28% of investigations at the ITC in the last 15-18 months are NPE/PAE-initiated investigations.
