B&U assists clients in resolving disputes through alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms such as mediation and arbitration, as a means of settling IP issues outside of court. These processes offer parties the opportunity to resolve claims more efficiently and with greater flexibility. Our firm’s experience in ADR covers a wide range of disputes, including those arising from commercial transactions and IP rights violations.
Notably, B&U was recognized by the Intellectual Property Office of the Philippines (IPOPHL) as one of its ADR Advocates Awardee in 2024. The award signified the firm’s role in “conveying the effectiveness of IP ADR to resolve IP disputes, improved access to justice, and the viability of a more satisfactory outcome for all parties.”
