An Insight into The Advent of IP Arbitration in Singapore - Webinar

Introduction

For years, there loomed a cloud of uncertainty in Singapore over whether Intellectual Property (IP) disputes could be a matter resolved by arbitration. That changed when the Intellectual Property (Dispute Resolution) Act 2019 (the Act) came into operation in 2019. This enactment marked a significant turning point in Singapore’s IP dispute resolution framework.

The Act introduced many reforms, with one of them being the explicit recognition of the arbitrability of IP disputes. Through new additions of provisions in the Arbitration Act and the International Arbitration Act, the law now clarifies and affirms that arbitration is a possible option for resolving IP-related conflicts.

This webinar aims to introduce participants to these transformations in the IP legal landscape and explain the significance of arbitration as a means to address complex, cross-border IP disputes.
