Copyright disputes: the case for writing voluntary arbitration into the Copyright Act
Article Abstract:
Copyright law has become increasingly open to arbitration since an amendment to the Patent Act in 1982. Courts and patent attorneys resisted arbitration for the previous fifty years. An amendment to the Copyright Act that would recommend arbitration for federally-based claims would further improve the situation. An amendment would encourage practitioners to inform their clients that clients need not fear a federal court would overturn an arbitration award.

Measuring the damages: ADR and intellectual property disputes
Article Abstract:
Damages in arbitrated intellectual property disputes can be ascertained by using the 25% rule. Royalties can be projected to be 25% of pre-tax profit. Such a rule fulfills the intent that damages awarded in arbitration would be commensurate to damages that could be awarded in a court proceeding. The 25% rule is aligned with statutory recommendations for damages and considers the complex claims of intellectual property cases.
