Disputes of contractual nature regarding industrial property rights have been considered arbitrable for a long time. The solution is convenient since most disputes concerning industrial property law that are brought to arbitrators raise issues of contractual nature. Although some difficulties still remain, particularly due to the uncertain criteria of arbitrability, they do not have harmful consequences. The present article invites to go beyond arbitrability issues by analysing how, in the field of industrial property law, arbitration clauses should be drafted and how arbitrators’ powers should be defined. In this respect, potential tension may appear between delocalised international arbitration and territorialized industrial property rights.
