Such disputes require a carefully integrated dispute resolution strategy to control costs and to protect the value of technologies and associated IP rights. Dispute resolution strategies may include out-of-court dispute resolution mechanisms, such as WIPO Mediation or Arbitration.
The Conference will provide an overview of the contractual framework of collaborations in life sciences, relevant IP matters, actual and potential disputes, and options to resolve such disputes. Renowned speakers will discuss their experience of court litigation, mediation and arbitration in major life sciences markets in Europe, the United States of America and the BRIC countries. They will focus on issues such as cost, time and enforceability of court litigation as compared to procedures under the WIPO Expedited Arbitration, Arbitration and Mediation Rules.
