Manny W. Schecter, chief patent counsel at International Business Machines Corp., and Kathleen A. Bryan, CEO and president of CPR-International Institute for Conflict Prevention and Resolution, write: When faced with an infringement case, lawyers usually refuse to even consider mediation until a court requires it or considerable litigation expense has been incurred.
