Strategies for International IP Dispute Resolution During and After COVID-19
In 2020, many Japanese companies will have realized how vulnerable court proceedings are to a pandemic, particularly when faced with a suspension of international travel. In rethinking strategies for cross-border IP dispute resolution, insights from global companies may be informative.
Against this backdrop, JCAA and the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center are pleased to present a webinar, inviting Mr. Jan-Michael Ahrens, Principal Counsel, Siemens Mobility, and two leading practitioners, Japanese and American, to discuss international IP dispute resolution strategies and the shift of international mediation and arbitration to online platforms to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Simultaneous Japanese/English interpretation will be provided.
