Arbitration (Securities Fraud)

In most cases, brokerage houses now require their customers to sign a written arbitration agreement at the time that the account is opened. Later, if the customer brings a complaint against the brokerage house, the broker will insist that the matter be submitted to arbitration. The vast majority of such arbitrations are conducted by the National Association of Securities Dealers ["NASD"]. The NASD is an organization of brokerage houses that provides arbitration services for investors and brokerage houses. Such arbitrations are typically decided by a panel of three arbitrators appointed by the NASD, with hearings held in the vicinity in which the investor resides. While many attorneys who represent investors feel that the NASD is somewhat biased in favor of brokerage firms, they regularly file claims for their clients with the NASD. If an arbitration agreement has been signed, there is no other viable alternative. An investor with a good case should not be daunted by the fact that the matter must be submitted to NASD arbitration.

Arbitration (Trademark)

A form of alternative dispute resolution in which an authorized individual sits as the arbiter of a legal dispute in lieu of a formal judicial proceeding. Arbitration may be binding or non-binding, depending on the agreement of the parties. Even if arbitration is binding, appeals to a district court can still be made in some cases. Very often, arbitration tends to be less formal, less expensive and faster. However, courts in a trademark infringement or dilution case can often hear a motion for temporary injunction very quickly as well, if all the requirements for a temporary injunction are met.
