Litigation is not always the best way to proceed when attempting to settle an IP dispute.

If direct negotiations reach a stalemate we can advise you on methods of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) including mediation and, the more formal, arbitration.  At HallMark IP we have advisors experienced in these methods of settlement.  Results are often more cost effective and less disruptive to the management of the business than court proceedings, and it is therefore wise to consider ADR as part of your overall strategy.
