Technology Dispute Mediation in Los Angeles, California

Technology is often the primary focus in disputes ranging from patent infringement, technology licensing, trade secret disputes, big data cases involving eDiscovery, and technology development agreements just to name a few. These disputes are often resolved through conventional litigation taking years and literally millions of dollars to reach a final decision. Mediation provides a cost-effective, confidential, and rapid process for resolving these disputes that open many options for resolution that are simply not available in the litigation context.

Technology matters can also be highly unpredictable. For example, in patent validity, claim construction, infringement, damages, electronic discovery and the need for experts compound the expense and uncertainty. Furthermore, the parties, in giving the matter to a court or jury to decide lose control of settlement options and the resolution process to a jury who may have difficulty understanding the technology.

Mediation to resolve complex technology disputes present a win-win opportunity placing both parties in a much better position to control the outcome. Examples might include cross-licensing, agreed-upon modifications of technology to avoid infringement, phase-out arrangements, or structured financial payments.
