Although cases revolving around the infringement of IP rights usually go to litigation rather than arbitration, cases revolving around contractual IP disputes are now arbitrated more and more frequently.
Whether in ad hoc arbitral proceedings, or proceedings managed by the WIPO or non-specialized institutions, features of arbitration such as confidentiality, expertise of the arbitrators, and easily enforceable awards are beneficial to said disputes. BODENHEIMER handle IP cases before both state courts and arbitral tribunals.
