The Rise of Arbitration About IP
Intellectual property owners have traditionally shunned arbitration, but, lately, there are signs this stance has reversed. GAR has seen a clear uptick of in IP-related disputes in our news, and in our data. Several firms also report closer ties between their IP teams and their international arbitration groups. If IP disputes did go to arbitration more often, it would likely save a lot of money – and time (perhaps to the deterrents of some). Is the post-covid era the moment the IP arbitration dam bursts?
Expect discussion on:
1. Why haven’t IP disputes gone to arbitration – and are those reasons still valid?
2. Where can the arbitration field improve to handle IP disputes
3. The role of AI in IP creation, infringement and disputes
4. Arbitration of complex IP disputes in high-value sectors: manufacturing, life sciences, and energy
