Intellectual Property and Licensing Disputes

Mediator facilitating a technology licensing discussion

Intellectual-property disputes can affect product launches, revenue, investment and valuable business relationships. Mediation allows the parties to discuss both the legal dispute and the commercial arrangements that may be needed in future.

Disputes that may be mediated

Ownership or permitted use of intellectual property
Licence scope, royalties, reporting or audit rights
Software development, technology transfer and implementation
Brand, design, copyright and confidential-information issues
Collaboration, research or distribution arrangements

Protecting the usefulness of the process

The parties can agree how sensitive material will be handled and which decision-makers, technical specialists or advisers should attend. Confidentiality is governed by the mediation agreement, applicable law and any agreed information protocol.

Commercially workable terms

Options may include a new or revised licence, defined fields of use, payment and reporting mechanisms, transition periods, attribution, access controls or an orderly separation. The mediator helps the parties explore these choices but does not decide ownership or infringement.

Specialist advice

Intellectual-property and competition issues can be technically demanding. Each party should obtain its own legal, tax, valuation and technical advice before final terms are documented.
