The arbitration of disputes relating to intellectual property is a topic which lies at the intersection of two rapidly growing branches of the law. Arbitration is increasingly chosen as a means of objective and final adjudication of commercial disputes, particularly those which reach across national boundaries. Intellectual property is similarly a burgeoning field of law with ramifications that commonly pertain to more than one jurisdiction. The purpose of this paper is to examine some of the major considerations which arise in the conjunction of these two disciplines.
