Haiwen Successfully Represents a Leading Global Gaming Client in ICC Emergency Arbitration
近日，國際商會（ICC）公布了2024年初步爭議解決統計數據。數據顯示，在831宗依據《國際商會仲裁規則》提起的仲裁案件中，17宗案件涉及當事人申請緊急仲裁員程序，以尋求緊急救濟。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.在這17宗緊急仲裁案件中，海問律師事務所香港辦公室代表一家全球領先的游戲公司，成功應對另一國際知名游戲開發商提出的緊急禁令申請。對方指控該游戲在開發和發行過程中涉及知識產權侵權，試圖通過緊急仲裁程序阻止其進一步發布和運營。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.
本案的緊急仲裁程序在瑞士日內瓦進行，時間緊迫，程序要求嚴格。海問作為牽頭律師，全程主導案件處理，與客戶保持緊密溝通，并協調瑞士及美國律師團隊，共同制定并執行法律策略。海問迅速分析大量法律和事實材料，在極短時間內提供全面且有力的法律意見，涵蓋適用法律（紐約法），并結合香港及英國法角度，提供跨法域的深度分析，為成功說服緊急仲裁庭駁回申請方的禁令請求提供了強有力的抗辯理據。這一裁決確保客戶可繼續正常運營其游戲業務，避免重大經濟損失和市場影響。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.此次勝訴不僅彰顯了海問律師事務所在國際仲裁和知識產權爭議解決方面的卓越實力，也進一步鞏固了其在跨境爭議解決、娛樂與科技行業法律事務領域的領先地位。海問律師事務所始終致力于為客戶提供高效、精準、跨法域的法律服務，助力企業在全球市場穩健發展。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.
