Register hereParties frequently opt for arbitration where confidentiality is a concern, and arbitration can be attractive to parties in disputes involving intellectual property, technology, and life sciences, all of which are cornerstones of California’s economy. Jurisdictional rules often limit what is arbitrable, and parties have taken to including IP “carve-out” provisions in their contracts. More recently, however, a global trend in favor of the arbitrability of intellectual property disputes has seen a decline in the use of “carve-out” provisions and an increase in the number of intellectual property-related matters brought to arbitration.
This event, presented by Young ICCA, will bring together a panel of diverse professionals working at the intersection of arbitration and intellectual property to discuss: (1) the varied nature of intellectual property disputes, from infringement actions to breach of contract claims; (2) the worldwide trend toward arbitrability and arbitration of intellectual property disputes; and (3) the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration for parties to such disputes.
