Professor Paul Idornigie, SAN & Professor Adebambo Adewopo, both of the Nigerian Institute of Advanced Legal Studies in their article, “Arbitrating Intellectual Property Disputes: Issues and Perspectives” examines the nature of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) and IP disputes, the rational basis for arbitration and the contentious issue of arbitrability and its application to IP disputes. The article argues that prima facie IP disputes are arbitrable, but not without its own challenges, which border on the peculiar nature of IPRs and their enforcement. Drawing perspective from the WIPO arbitration system, the article presents a case for arbitration regime for emerging IP disputes among parties within the framework of increasingly complex commercial and transnational transactions in Nigeria.
