Intellectual property disputes are invariably complex and fact sensitive. These cases require the participation of mediators with strong business backgrounds, laying the framework to handle the following: 

Copyright infringement.

A mediator can skillfully assess the value of a case and help parties come to a mutually acceptable agreement. 

Trademark dispute.

Mediation can help clear up trademark confusion or misappropriation and regulate future use among the parties.  

Patent protection.

Patent infringement can cost patent holders royalties and either slow or prevent the sale of companies; mediation is an effective tool to protect patents and allow businesses to continue to operate, profit from their intellectual property, and potentially license designs to others.

Licensing agreements.

A mediator can assist copyright, trademark, and patent holders in resolving issues regarding violation of their intellectual property rights.  

Trade secrets.

The confidential practice of mediation makes trade secret claims ideal for mediation rather than litigation.
