Using ADR to Resolve Intellectual Property Disputes

Intellectual property litigation is on the rise, and so is alternative dispute resolution (ADR) to resolve these matters. In June 2019, Kyle-Beth Hilfer will leverage her years of experience as an ADR neutral to moderate two continuing legal education panels. Both panels will  consider the options for using ADR in intellectual property litigation. Ms. Hilfer will guide the panelists through explorations of mediation and arbitration to resolve a range of intellectual property disputes, including trademarks, domain names, copyrights, patents, and more. Ms. Hilfer will also lead discussions weighing the pros and cons of these ADR solutions while considering a dispute case study.
