Intellectual Property (IP) Arbitration

Forum’s Intellectual Property Code of Procedure was built with the fair and efficient resolution of IP disputes in mind. The IP Code provides the appropriate balance between flexible procedures and discovery with the need to control dispute resolution costs. Confidentiality is maintained, including the protection of parties’ trade secrets. The IP Code also permits Markman hearings to be conducted in the context of arbitration.
