近日，国际商会（ICC）公布了2024年初步争议解决统计数据。数据显示，在831宗依据《国际商会仲裁规则》提起的仲裁案件中，17宗案件涉及当事人申请紧急仲裁员程序，以寻求紧急救济。Recently, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) released its preliminary dispute resolution statistics for 2024. The data shows that among the 831 arbitration cases initiated under the ICC Arbitration Rules, 17 cases involved parties applying for an emergency arbitration procedure to seek injunctive relief.在这17宗紧急仲裁案件中，海问律师事务所香港办公室代表一家全球领先的游戏公司，成功应对另一国际知名游戏开发商提出的紧急禁令申请。对方指控该游戏在开发和发行过程中涉及知识产权侵权，试图通过紧急仲裁程序阻止其进一步发布和运营。Among these 17 emergency arbitration cases, Haiwen & Partners LLP successfully represented a leading global gaming company in defending against an emergency injunction application filed by another internationally renowned game developer. The opposing party alleged intellectual property infringement in the development and release of the client’s game and sought to block its further launch and operation through emergency arbitration proceedings.
本案的紧急仲裁程序在瑞士日内瓦进行，时间紧迫，程序要求严格。海问作为牵头律师，全程主导案件处理，与客户保持紧密沟通，并协调瑞士及美国律师团队，共同制定并执行法律策略。海问迅速分析大量法律和事实材料，在极短时间内提供全面且有力的法律意见，涵盖适用法律（纽约法），并结合香港及英国法角度，提供跨法域的深度分析，为成功说服紧急仲裁庭驳回申请方的禁令请求提供了强有力的抗辩理据。这一裁决确保客户可继续正常运营其游戏业务，避免重大经济损失和市场影响。The emergency arbitration was conducted in Geneva, Switzerland, under extremely tight timelines and stringent procedural requirements. As lead counsel, Haiwen oversaw the entire case strategy, maintained close communication with the client, and coordinated Swiss and U.S. legal teams to formulate and execute a comprehensive legal strategy. The firm swiftly analysed a substantial volume of legal and factual materials, providing thorough and compelling legal opinions within a short timeframe. The analysis covered New York law (the governing law) while incorporating perspectives from Hong Kong and English law, offering a robust cross-jurisdictional legal assessment. These strong legal arguments played a crucial role in persuading the emergency arbitrator to dismiss the claimant’s injunction application. As a result, the client was able to continue operating its gaming business without disruption, avoiding significant financial losses and market impact.此次胜诉不仅彰显了海问律师事务所在国际仲裁和知识产权争议解决方面的卓越实力，也进一步巩固了其在跨境争议解决、娱乐与科技行业法律事务领域的领先地位。海问律师事务所始终致力于为客户提供高效、精准、跨法域的法律服务，助力企业在全球市场稳健发展。This victory not only underscores Haiwen's exceptional expertise in international arbitration and intellectual property dispute resolution, but also further solidifies its leading position in cross-border dispute resolution, as well as legal services for the entertainment and technology industries.
