Dispute resolution options and strategies are centre stage in this session. Speakers from an arbitral institution and an international commercial court share why their caseload is on the rise and how they innovate to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of disputants. An arbitrator and mediator shares his experience mediating a specialised patent licensing dispute involving standard essential patents and FRAND rates (fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory rates), part of an international trend in licensing disputes. Finally, a lawyer and an in-house counsel discuss the considerations for dispute resolution clauses at the transaction/negotiation stage in international deals.
