By Andrew Chung NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. trade agency does not have power to regulate digital data, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday in a case involving a dental brace company's effort to block a rival's electronic transmissions from entering the country. The appeals court decision negates a U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruling last year in favor of Align Technology, Inc, the San Jose, California-based maker of the popular Invisalign plastic braces. The ITC, which can block products from entering the United States, ordered ClearCorrect to stop transmitting digital models produced by technicians in Pakistan to its Texas manufacturing facility.
