ABSTRACT
This paper provides an insight into analysing intellectual property as a subject matter for arbitration. This involves looking into the characteristic features of disputes in intellectual property such as it being a right in personam, rather than being a right in rem, from the perspective of objective arbitrability. Moreover, the author extensively writes about public policy concerns, which is one of the primary determinant factors in considering arbitrability of IP disputes, and validity of invoking the argument of public policy, for and against considering IP disputes as arbitrable.
Keywords: Arbitration, Intellectual Property, Arbitrability, Alternate Dispute Resolution.
