“Front Row: IP Licensing Dispute Mock Mediation”
Tuesday, February 20, 2018

In the context of intellectual property, alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures (such as mediation and arbitration) can be particularly advantageous, especially for intellectual property related contractual disputes involving parties from different jurisdictions. This panel will conduct a mock mediation between a university and a business, followed by a presentation on the essential features of mediation, and ADR pros and cons compared with court litigation.

In addition to serving on the Board of Directors of Global Healthcare Innovation Alliance Accelerator (GHIAA), Ms. Cox is Chairman-elect to the Board of Governors of Certified Licensing Professionals (CLP), an international delegate for the Licensing Executives Society USA/Canada (LES), Vice Chair of the External Relations Committee for the Licensing Executive Society International (LESI), Advisor to the Life Science Committee for LESI and Adjunct Professor at Northwestern University Pritzker Law School.
