The evolution of contractually mandated arbitration
Article Abstract:
New York was the first state to write binding arbitration into law with the New York Arbitration Act of 1920. That state had long been a focal point of arbitration activity. The federal law on the subject came with the Arbitration Act of 1925. Further arbitration developments arising from the depression during the 1930s included the National Labor Relations Act which authorized the NLRB and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The Steelworkers Trilogy in 1960 confirmed that public policy favored arbitration. The American Arbitration Assn can help arbitration develop further.

Intellectual property: arbitrating disputes in the United States
Article Abstract:
35 USC 294 expressly allows arbitration for patent validity and enforcement issues. Proceedings that would be brought before an agency, such as the US International Trade Commission, may still be subject to the agency. Other intellectual property claims, including those for trademark and copyright, are also open to arbitration under section 294.
