Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration [PDF ebook] 

The Research Handbook on Intellectual Property Rights and Arbitration explores the complementary relationship between state court adjudication and arbitral proceedings in the context of intellectual property rights. Presenting contemporary research and insight into the scholarly debates on the topic, it provides a comprehensive overview of arbitrating intellectual property disputes on an international scale.Bringing together an array of distinguished academics and professionals from across the globe, the central theme of this Research Handbook is the relationship between intellectual property and arbitration in general. Individual chapters consider such questions as the arbitrability of intellectual property disputes, suitable arbitration bodies, and the protection of trade secrets in arbitral proceedings. Specific fields of intellectual property arbitration such as licensing, copyright and domain name disputes are deftly considered alongside investor-state dispute settlement, whilst national perspectives on intellectual property arbitration are also surveyed.Both incisive and authoritative, this Research Handbook will prove essential for researchers and students who are interested in intellectual property law and dispute resolution. Legal practitioners active in arbitrating intellectual property disputes will similarly benefit from the applied nature of the text.
