Take a Practical, Hands-On Look at the Pros and Cons of Dispute Resolution   RESOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY LICENSING DISPUTES: COLLABORATIVE MODELS TO AVOID HIGH-RISK AND HIGH-COST LITIGATION Wednesday, July 11, 2012  1 PM EST / Noon CST / 11 AM MST / 10 AM PST (90 Minutes) Litigation is a risky and expensive way to resolve technology licensing disputes. Lost business opportunities, huge legal bills, uncertain outcomes and enforcement are just a few of the problems with litigation. Mediation and arbitration promise cheaper, more effective ways to resolve licensing disputes. Do they work as promised?  Three experienced mediators and arbitrators provide a practical, hands-on look at the pros and cons of dispute resolution, with a focus on international technology licensing. We will provide practical tips on: (i) how to build alternative dispute resolution into licensing agreements; (ii) how to manage disputes during the life of the agreement; and (iii) how to deal with disputes when they arise, to avoid unnecessary escalation and conflict.
