Via the Court ADR Connection Resolution Systems Institute‘s newsletter we learned that the International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution (“CPR Institute”) recently created a Patent Mediation Task Force. The objective of the Task Force is to investigate ways to improve the use of alternative dispute resolution in patent disputes. The Task Force has already formed three subcommittees: 1) pre-mediation; 2) mediation; and 3) issues unique to patent cases. Professor S.I. Strong (contributor of this blog) is a member of the pre-mediation subcommittee.
