Dave Kappos Speaks at IPOS’s 2025 Global Forum on Intellectual Property

Cravath partner David J. Kappos participated in the 2025 Global Forum on Intellectual Property, IP Week @ SG 2025, which was hosted by the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore from August 26–27, 2025 in Singapore. Dave spoke on two panels during the forum. The first, entitled “Greening with IP: From Trade Marks to Brands,” explored how trademarks and branding can support sustainability outcomes and addressed legal intricacies related to “going green,” including the risks of greenwashing, building responsible brands and navigating the associated legal landscape. The second panel, entitled “Beyond Battlegrounds: From Territorial Considerations to Strategic Forum Selection,” examined the strategic factors that influence forum selection in IP disputes and provided insights into the comparative advantages of mediation, arbitration and litigation, as well as the use of litigation insurance and third-party funding as tools for financial and risk management.
