IACT’s Advantages

​

IACT provides certain key benefits that make arbitration before IACT a desirable path, including:

 

1. IP Focus. IACT is well-suited to resolve IP disputes involving international corporations.

​​​

2. 1-Year Time Limit.  Each resolution will proceed with a one-year time limit from the formal initiation (ex. an appointment of the third arbitrator) unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

​

​

3. Global coverage.  Arbitrators and mediators are selected from major jurisdictions around the globe. The parties select and mutually agree to the arbitrators or mediator.  In the event that the parties cannot agree, upon notice, the IACT administration will select or complete the selection with arbitrators from jurisdictions separate from the parties or the prior selections.

​

​

4. Unparalleled Experience. Most arbitrators have presided over thousands of complicated cases as a judge, or have handled legislation as a director. Our experts have developed the current Intellectual Property law in each jurisdiction.

​

5. Cost efficiency.  IACT seeks to achieve cost efficiency by charging the arbitrators' hourly rates for time actually spent on the dispute, rather than using other commonly-used fee amounts such as a percentage of the amount in controversy. Individual arbitrators' rates may vary.​

​

​

6. Flexibility. IACT can assist Med-Arb and layered ADR with knowledge and experience of high-profile mediators chosen from every continent. If the parties are not familiar with arbitration, the parties may preserve the opportunity to appeal to a supervisory ​panel.​
