Palo Alto, California / Virtual
Cleary Gottlieb partners David Herrington, Christopher P. Moore, and Marcela Robledo will participate in “Should You Arbitrate Cross-Border IP Disputes? Problems It Solves and Pitfalls to Avoid,” an interactive live panel discussion that will address the advantages arbitrating IP disputes can achieve and critical pitfalls to avoid.
When parties to cross-border agreements involving intellectual property have a dispute, litigating in court can be a mess: multiple proceedings in different countries; costly and time-wasting fights about jurisdiction and procedure, judges and juries who lack relevant experience, delays caused by busy court schedules, further delays for lengthy appeals (sometimes followed by remands and subsequent appeals), and obstacles to enforcing court judgments in other countries.
Choosing to arbitrate such disputes can work wonders: a single proceeding, scheduling and procedures tailored to the dispute, arbitrators chosen for relevant experience, avoiding delays caused by court schedules or procedural disputes or appeals, and ease of enforcing arbitral awards. But to achieve these advantages, it’s essential to avoid common pitfalls that can make arbitration more costly, complicated, and time-consuming than expected.
