Study on Specialized Intellectual Property Courts. This report analyzes the impact of specialized IPR courts on producing consistent case outcomes in similar factual situations, the level of IPR expertise in the judiciary, and the conduct of commerce in IPR-dependent sectors, by cataloging the number and type of specialized IPR courts throughout the world and by assessing the effectiveness of these courts in a series of ten case studies. The results of these case studies suggest a positive correlation between specialized IPR courts and the efficient and effective resolution of IP cases. The case studies also reveal that factors internal and external to the court play a role in its success and that countries should consider these factors and their own limitations when establishing a specialized IPR court.
