We typically schedule a half-day or full-day mediation, with a full day preferred for better outcomes.

These services work well for patent infringement matters, early mediations in NPE cases to minimize legal fees, claim-scope disagreements, licensing or royalty disputes, FRAND/SEP issues, indemnity claims, and conflicts arising from R&D collaborations or technology transfers.

Patent mediation services provide a confidential, structured process where a neutral mediator helps parties resolve patent disputes—including infringement, licensing, ownership, and joint-development issues—without the cost and uncertainty of litigation.
