SEP Dispute Resolution - Options for Effectiveness and Efficiency and The Role of The Proposed EU SEP Regulations [CC]

This first webinar begins the process of education with a contextual framework that itself is somewhat controversial, the lens of dispute resolution applied to the EU SEP regulation. The panelists will include two that generally support the direction the EU SEP regulation has taken and two that raise concerns about how it might be inappropriate as a solution if dispute resolution or ADR is the intent and more likely to result in a solution to the stated goals of the regulation.

This is the first of 3 Webinars to meet a proposal by Council for the IPL Section to educate the legal public about SEP disputes and how they are resolved from the perspectives of SEP owners/licensors and SEP users/licensees, and to the extent possible of neutral observers and government interests. It was suggested as an alternative to a proposal for a resolution so the Section to avoid thrashing out a position that was unlikely to be supported in this controversial area. Our intent is to capture the perspectives of all sides and if the result is publishable as a white paper, to publish the various points of view in a single white paper.
