An Alternative Way to Resolve IP Disputes

An Alternative Way to Resolve IP Disputes

IP disputes are often settled through litigation. However, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods, such as arbitration, offer an alternative approach to resolve these conflicts. There are two notable advantages of using arbitration over settling multiple litigations across various jurisdictions. First, arbitration offers a faster and more cost-effective solution, as it consolidates the dispute into a single proceeding. Second, arbitration is conducted in a non-public manner, ensuring confidentiality and preserving sensitive information.

Due to its confidential nature, gaining a comprehensive understanding of how disputes are resolved through arbitration can be challenging. In this CHIZAI (IP) seminar, we are pleased to have Ken Korea, an active arbitrator, as our guest speaker. Ken will offer participants an insightful overview and detailed information on the general process of arbitration and its advantages.
