Commercial and Intellectual Property Arbitration
Alternative Dispute Resolution is Efficient, Effective and Economical
Commercial and intellectual property can be a difficult area of law to manage, especially with the Internet and the global economy.
Though litigation is often used to resolve commercial and intellectual property disputes, alternative dispute resolution, including arbitration, can be very effective. Arbitration has been used for decades to solve these types of disputes. The process makes it easier and more efficient to settle disputes related to contracts, sales disputes, commercial torts, intellectual property licenses, patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and copyrights.
Many companies and individuals prefer arbitration because it is less expensive than litigation, but the process offers several other benefits when it is used to resolve commercial and intellectual property disputes. Arbitration:
Is a private and confidential process
Helps disputes be resolved faster than litigation
Reduces the likelihood the existing relationship between disputing parties will be damaged
Can make it easier to enforce the resolution
Arbitration gives control to disputing parties
Additionally, arbitration gives control to disputing parties because they are allowed to choose the arbitrator, and the date and location of the arbitration. Working with an arbitrator who is an expert in a given field makes it easier to resolve the issue efficiently.
