In this seminar, an experienced consultant from NERA's Tokyo office will present best practices for leveraging surveys to resolve issues in litigation and administrative procedures. It is crucial to gain an early understanding of the likely outcome in a legal matter, to determine the course of action such as pursuing litigation, negotiating a settlement, appealing a decision, or withdrawing from the case. Surveys can frequently provide an early insight into a case. When initiating litigation, the availability and reliability of the evidence will be crucial. A well-designed survey can provide valuable support for the case. Conversely, if the survey is conducted or reported poorly, there is a risk that the opposing party will use it against you. More scrutiny is in order to conduct surveys for litigation and administrative procedures than for opinion polls and marketing research.

This seminar will provide detailed explanations of key topics relevant to practice, including pilot surveys that facilitate problem identification and development of strategy in resolving a dispute, controlled experiments that enhance the relevance of evidence by verifying hypotheses and causal relationships, and the timing and benefits of retaining experts.

The content is applicable not only to intellectual property and unfair competition cases, but also to general commercial disputes.
