revlis: If the CAFC remands the case back to the ITC it will automatically be reopened to follow whatever guidance the CAFC gave.
In regard to registering at the ITC. I also ran across that new requirement and have yet to register. At least it is free access vs. having to pay at PACER. What I noted was that when you start the registration process, there is a site that you are referred to on Who Should Register. According to that site you don't have to register to view publicly available documents. I guess they are a little late in changing their guidance.
EDIS - Who Should Register?
You must register to obtain a userid for EDIS. Registration for EDIS includes identifying yourself by name, address, firm, and email address. You will be asked to enter a userid and password for access to EDIS. Security questions and answers will also be collected to identify you when passwords are forgotten or other assistance is needed from the EDIS Help Desk.
You must login to EDIS to file documents. A person who represents a party to an investigation before the Commission must become a registered user before filing a document. Your user information will be used to pre-populate certain fields when filing documents. The registered user’s name (Filed By) and Firm must match the legal signature and Firm on the document being filed.
If you are an on staff at the USITC you must login using your userid which has been granted permissions to view non-public documents.
Registration is not required to use EDIS for researching publicly-available legal documentation. Public documents and Public, Confidential and Limited document data (document cover sheet attributes) may be viewed without login.
The USITC encourages any person who is not yet but anticipates becoming a party representative to become a registered user.
