Resumes of Professional Staff Peter L. Michaelson, Esq., F.C.I. Arb. Attorney, Arbitrator & Mediator Legal Experience: A. Principal ADR Experience (IP, IT, Telecommunications, Technology and Energy Disputes) Arbitrated: (a) international and domestic intellectual property (IP) disputes, principally patent disputes involving complex electronic and mechanical technologies; (b) information technology (IT) and technology-related disputes across various industries and involving, e.g., computer hardware and software installations and consulting agreements; (c) interconnection, billing and contract disputes involving large U.S. telecommunications carriers; (d) a bilateral investment treaty (BIT) dispute; and (e) energy-related disputes, particularly involving technology. Mediated and also served as a Court-appointed expert in patent law in numerous patent litigations in the U.S. District Courts involving complex electronic technology; and Hatch-Waxman based pharmaceutical disputes. Also mediated trademark litigations in the U.S. District Courts. Substantial matters recently handled: Mediated, via a WIPO referral, an international patent dispute involving automotive structural technology and with several US patents in dispute. Arbitrated, as sole arbitrator and via a CPR referral, a domestic contract dispute concerning manufacture and distribution of a web-based energy management system with damages claimed between US $90-$110 Million. Arbitrated, as sole arbitrator and under the American Arbitration Association (AAA), a multi-million dollar US patent dispute. Arbitration was handled on an expedited basis after transfer out of USDC-ED Texas (Marshall Division). Entire arbitration, including evidentiary hearing and rendition of reasoned award, consumed approximately 7 weeks. Arbitrated, under the AAA, a domestic patent dispute involving air bag technology including, among other issues, inventorship of each of approximately 20 US patents. Arbitrated, as panel chair and via a CPR referral, a domestic patent dispute, involving a genetically-engineered monoclonal-antibody based pharmaceutical drug with approximately $100 Million claimed. Drug had cumulative sales through 2006 of approximately US $4.4 Billion and annual sales then of approximately US $2.5 Billion and expected additional sales throughout the remainder of the terms of the patents in dispute of approximately US $22 Billion. Arbitration was handled on an expedited basis after conclusion of trial discovery and transfer out of USDC-ED Texas (Marshall Division). Entire arbitration, including a 2-week evidentiary hearing, consumed approximately 3 months. Arbitrated a BIT dispute under the UNCITRAL rules and through the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), specifically an international contract dispute, between a US telecommunications company and a foreign government as respondent, involving alleged governmental expropriation of a national telecommunications network, with damages being claimed by the telecommunications company of approximately US $150 Million. Arbitrated, under the AAA, a domestic patent dispute involving reverse geometry contact lenses, and, in conjunction therewith, conducted along with my co-arbitrators, a Markman (claim construction) hearing. Arbitrated, under the AAA, a contract dispute involving a very large semiconductor manufacturer and concerning development of specialized integrated circuits for DSL (digital subscriber line) equipment with liabilities being claimed amounting to several tens of millions of US dollars. Mediated, on a court-annexed basis for the United States District Court - Eastern District of New York, four separate Hatch-Waxman patent litigations involving a common prescription drug then having annual sales of approximately US $350-400 Million. These litigations were consolidated, by the mediator and for purposes of mediation, and collectively involved three innovator pharmaceutical companies and three generic pharmaceutical companies. Arbitrated, via a CPR referral, a domestic patent dispute involving arterial stents, with multiple US patents at issue, between two major multi-national competing medical device manufacturers with liability estimated to be between US $400-800 Million, and in conjunction therewith conducted, along with my co-arbitrators, a Markman hearing. Mediated, via a WIPO referral, an international patent dispute involving both mechanical and electronic aeronautical technology, with multiple US patents at issue, with potential liability to the parties involved of approximately US $600 Million. Through this mediation, the parties not only settled their existing disputes but also agreed on establishing a framework to avoid future patent disputes going forward. Arbitrated, under the AAA, an IT dispute resulting from an installation of enterprise (ERP) software and involving a large international accounting/IT consulting firm with liabilities claimed between US $25-40 Million. Mediated an international patent dispute between two large US appliance manufacturers that successfully ended five years of foreign patent litigation with liabilities claimed of approximately US $30 Million. Mediated a US patent dispute involving personal digital assistants (PDAs) which successfully ended US patent litigation and formed a framework for future business co-operation between the disputants. Arbitrated, via a CPR referral, a telecommunication dispute concerning payment of reciprocal compensation between a large incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) and a competitive local exchange carrier (CLEC) with a total amount of compensation impacted at the ILEC estimated at approximately US $50 Million.
