ADR Advocacy, Strategies, And Practices For Intellectual Property And Technology Cases, Second Edition

ABA Section Of Intellectual Property Law

(Excerpt From The Introduction)

Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has moved from a side course to the main course as a means for resolving many intellectual property and technology disputes. In the past, reliance on general legal skills and knowledge about ADR may have been enough to represent clients in ADR processes. That is not the case today.

Considering the substantial number of IP/technology disputes that regularly arise, the frequent complexity of those cases, and the benefits of settling (including the financial and business risks thereby avoided), specialized knowledge, and experience for both counsel and business managers in ADR is a must. Even the most experienced attorneys need to possess such capabilities for representing clients in ADR processes, negotiating agreements with pre-dispute resolution clauses, and counseling clients about ADR. There is no one source of education or training to accomplish this. And education and training is no substitute for experience. This book combines some of each.

This book is for practitioners working in a variety of practice settings, for example, law firms, corporations, government, or universities. Business executives who are frequently requested to be involved in ADR processes, often as decision-makers and strategists, will find the book instructive and be better prepared to participate effectively in resolving their companies’ disputes. And neutrals will benefit from the experience, perspectives, and practical advice offered even if their practices do not focus solely on intellectual property and technology disputes. Each chapter opens another door on the use of ADR advocacy, strategies, and practices for IP/technology cases. Contributing their in-depth experience to the book are:
