UPDATED! Singapore IP Strategy Series: IP-related International Arbitration – Advanced Issues (28 Jan 2021)

About the Webinar:
Intellectual property today forms a greater proportion of a company’s assets. According to some studies, intangible assets make up more than 80% of the market value of the S&P 500 in 2015, compared to 17% 40 years ago. Top tech giants like Apple, Alibaba, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Tencent have a combined intangible asset value of approximately USD 5.1 trillion in 2019
 
Although IP disputes have traditionally been litigated before courts, many international arbitrations today involve IP-related issues. In addition, with Singapore’s enactment of the Intellectual Property (Dispute Resolution) Act in November 2019, a wider range of so-called pure IP disputes (such as disputes involving patents and trademarks) are now arbitrable.
 
We can therefore expect to see more cross-border IP-related disputes occurring and being subject to international arbitration. In complex cases, such IP-related arbitrations could cover multiple jurisdictions or markets, multiple parties (including third parties) and multiple agreements. IP-related arbitrations could also be impacted by regulatory law such competition or antitrust laws, investment laws and data protection laws. Public international law arising from international investment treaties and free trade agreements containing IP protection provisions could also have an impact on IP disputes.
 
This webinar will address a range of the above advanced issues.
