International Intellectual Property Arbitration: Through the Lens of FRAND

Intellectual property is seen as not only the heart of artistry, providing a space for the development of great writers, painters, and musicians, but also a vital seed for innovation. Recognizing the growing demand for efficient and international resolution of intellectual property disputes, this book provides a unique bridge between the two fields by using standard essential patent disputes as a catalyst to demonstrate how intellectual property and international arbitration can develop together, rather than merely examining the application of one field onto the other. The tension between the original conception of intellectual property as involving discrete jurisdictions and the newly emerging extra-territoriality of these rights has made the harmonization of intellectual property a major concern in the international business community. The original framework proposed in this book, derived from two perceived incongruous fields, seeks to contribute to sustaining this essential aspect of our society today and its progress in the future.
