When parties are engaged in a dispute over their IP rights, the outcome of a case is determined by the facts of the dispute and the applicable law. However, mediation is an amicable way of resolving a dispute that allows parties to engage in a dialogue that is guided by their interests. When parties are engaged in a dialogue that is focused on their interests, this often results in a settlement that aligns with the interests of both parties. Furthermore, mediation generally results in time and cost savings for parties, as parties have control and certainty over the process to discuss and formulate a win-win solution for both parties.
