Patents are essential assets for many businesses. While licensing arrangements are generally well-considered, disputes do arise, and their efficient resolution allows affected entities to get back to their core work. To the extent that direct negotiation between the parties has been unsuccessful, mediation and arbitration are two options for resolving disputes outside the courts, with a number of potential benefits, especially in the context of international collaborations.
Join Aleš Zalar (Director of the Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre (PMAC) of the Unified Patent Court) and Heike Wollgast (Head, IP Disputes, WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center), along with Philipp Groz (Partner, Schellenberg Wittmer (Zurich)) for a discussion on trends in mediation and arbitration cases involving patent disputes, such as in the areas of Green Technology, Standard Essential Patents, and Life Sciences.
The panel will explore the types of disputes that might be appropriate for mediation and arbitration and the position of the UPC’s new PMAC compared to other dispute resolution institutions.
