Arbitrating Patent Disputes

Patent litigation is increasingly prevalent today, but this use of the courts to resolve disputes makes the process significantly more expensive for the client, sometimes prohibitively so. Ultimately, the real advantage of patent arbitration is that it avoids complication, even while it involves topics that are inherently complex – patent law and technology. Providing a step-by step road map of what to bear in mind when arbitration is being used to resolve patent issues, Arbitrating Patent Disputes: A Practical Guide covers everything from determining whether or not it is a good idea to include arbitration in a patent-related agreement, drafting the clause, kickstarting arbitration, how to conduct it, how to enforce or attack the award, and plenty of ground in between.
