Introduction of the moot trial

Programme details

The moot trial will be based on a hypothetical case scenario about the infringement of patents rights and know-how in the context of a supply agreement for the manufacture and distribution of COVID-19 treatments worldwide. The discussion will involve relevant legal, contractual and statutory issues in life sciences disputes, as well as procedural considerations particular to international arbitration and mediation proceedings and cross-border provisional measures and their enforcement.
Claimant and respondent counsel teams will present their positions and legal arguments in a mock hearing, and dispute resolution experts will mediate and arbitrate the dispute in accordance with recognized legal standards and international practices. Availability of provisional or protective measures in aid of arbitration proceedings will also be discussed.

Arbitral tribunal:

Philipp Groz Schellenberg Wittmer, Zürich
Dr Pierrick Le Goff De Gaulle Fleurance & Associes, Paris
Daniel Reich Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes, New York City

Mediator:

Conna A Weiner JAMS, Boston, Massachusetts
