Nike, Inc., a case in which Nike was accused of infringing the copyright of a photo by creating a similar photo and logo.

Walmart exclusively? It is a product of the times we live in and neither helps nor hinders. It's merely a part of a system of retail service that does exist and would exist with or without Walmart. The strange focus on places like Walmart but not Target or Home Depot or JCPenny or Kohl's always flabbergasts me. Like, because Walmart is the biggest, it's the guiltiest or something. Which is dumb. Nobody fucks workers like "softlines" retail. Walmart doesn't even come close.
Business owners and managers familiar with the court litigation system understand that high litigation costs and long delays make it difficult and expensive to resolve business disputes in court. They also understand that most civil cases that go to court are settled before trial. They are solved after spending considerable amount of time and money in the complex pre-trial phase, but just in time to avoid the risk of trial. Mediation and commercial arbitration provide superior solutions that help in resolving business disputes. Mediation puts the parties immediately in control of the situation and helps them get desirable outcomes without expending vast resources on litigation procedures (Berg, Permanent Court of Arbitration. International Bureau, International Council for Commercial Arbitration, 2005).
