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

ABA Section Of Intellectual Property Law

(Excerpt From The Introduction)

Creating this Third Edition reaffirms an observation from the First Edition—alternative dispute resolution (ADR) has moved from a side course to the main course as a means for resolving many intellectual property (IP) and technology disputes. This Third Edition reimagines the use of ADR for resolving IP/Technology disputes of all sizes and of varying significance to businesses. The chapters are grouped together to reflect a practical approach for considering and using ADR in such disputes. The first group explores how others have used various forms of ADR to resolve IP/Technology disputes whether by way of pre-dispute resolution clauses or more “real-time” creative uses of ADR. A second group of chapters discusses early uses of tactical tools and approaches for resolving IP/Technology disputes, while a third group focuses on the practical use of mediation in various forums. The last group of chapters delves into adjudicatory options for resolving IP/ Technology disputes.

In contrast to prior editions, this Third Edition of the book focuses in some areas and expands in others. For example, it coalesces three chapters on mediation from the first two editions that reflected various perspectives on mediation (i.e., magistrate judge, in-house counsel, mediator) into one chapter of practical guidance and tips for participating in IP/Technology mediations. This edition broadens its coverage of various topics (e.g., appellate mediation, domain name disputes, small copyright disputes) to provide additional insights and guidance from multiple appellate mediation programs, multiple administrators of Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) cases, and a recently established tribunal for copyright cases.

As in the previous editions, the contributing authors, with decades of experience, education, and training, infuse each chapter with practical ideas for enhancing the use of ADR in resolving IP/Technology disputes. They are or were neutrals, clients, professors, consultants, litigation and transactional attorneys, and in-house counsel. Their approach focuses on how best to apply ADR processes in the simplest to the most complex IP/Technology cases routinely encountered. Each chapter opens another door on the use of ADR advocacy, strategies, and practices for IP/Technology cases.
