Mediation and Intellectual Property Disputes
“Conflict is inevitable but combat is optional”
Max Lucade |
In an increasingly competitive world the ability to protect and use Intellectual Property is crucial.
A strong Intellectual Property regime requires effective dispute resolution procedures and mediation is playing a bigger and more and more effective role in achieving that.
Intellectual Property covers a number of rights which arise from the creativity of individuals yet often those precise rights are difficult to determine.
It is often said that commercial disputes are always about money, but never only about money. And this is no more true than when dealing with rights evolving from the creativity of individuals. In such matters the last thing the parties want is a narrow and restrictive approach to dispute resolution.
In Intellectual Property disputes, settlements in mediation can include solutions which no way a judge could have ordered which can cater for ongoing commercial relationships, public acknowledgements to be made and press releases to be issued.
