Overview
The successful development and commercialization of energy technologies requires considered intellectual property (IP) strategies as well as contract drafting. Moreover, a careful choice of dispute prevention and resolution mechanisms is key for parties to enforce and defend their IP assets in a time- and cost-efficient manner. IP and commercial disputes can affect energy innovation and commercialization and may occur in all energy sectors including renewable and conventional energies.
This conference will provide an overview of green technologies and IP in the energy sector, IP risk protection strategies and dispute resolution options. Practitioners will present their long-standing experience with contract negotiations and dispute resolution relevant for commercial and IP transactions, including licensing, assignments, mergers & acquisitions, or research and development collaborations.

The conference is organized by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, the University of Bonn, and supported by the Licensing Executives Society International (LESI) - Chemicals, Energy, Environment and Materials Committee, the European Industrial Research Management Association (EIRMA) and the European IPR Helpdesk.
