     ABSTRACT:
     The intent of this Article is to discuss various
     alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods and show
     how they may become valuable to intellectual property
     practitioners in their practices. Part I describes
     various ADR techniques including arbitration, private
     judging, mediation, advisory opinions, and non-binding
     mock-trials. Part II focuses on major types of
     intellectual property disputes and why ADR offers
     distinct advantages in each context: copyright and
     software, patent, trademark and trade dress, trade
     secret and unfair competition, and licensing disputes.
     Part III discusses the deference courts increasingly
     give to ADR decisions, thereby providing parties more
     effective and efficient remedies.
