Intellectual Property Attorney in Los Angeles, California

Whether the dispute is related to an interim legal or procedural matter or is focused on a final resolution, mediation can be a time-efficient, cost-saving and flexible alternative to help parties resolve disputes in cases where intellectual property is at issue. Intellectual property cases are often complex both in substance and procedure resulting discovery that is lengthy and expensive and a trial where both parties give control of the resolution to a court or jury. Litigation inherently creates a win-lose scenario that often results in disappointment for both sides.

How Mr. Wood Can Help You

Contract, licensing, copyright, trademark, patent, unfair competition, and trade secret disputes are especially suited to mediation because the stakes can be so high. Mediation offers an opportunity to:

• Evaluate and consider risk during negotiations

• Create solutions that work well for both parties involved

• Express concerns and emotions related to the dispute

• Explore various options and reach a solution that is mutually beneficial

In intellectual property mediation, parties retain control over the substance and process of resolution and can implement a wide variety of mutually beneficial options that would not be available to a court or jury.
