(d) Either Party may apply to the arbitrators for, or may seek from any court having jurisdiction, interim injunctive or provisional relief as necessary to protect the rights or property of such Party until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved.

Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators shall be binding, final and non-appealable (absent manifest error) and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

14.3 Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article14, either Party may apply to any court having jurisdiction for interim injunctive relief (including a temporary restraining order or preliminary injunction) to protect a Party’s interests or preserve the status quo during the pendency of a dispute between the Parties.

14.4 Intellectual Property Disputes. Notwithstanding Article 14.2, in the event that a Dispute arises with respect to the validity, scope, enforceability or ownership of any Patent or other Intellectual Property Rights, and such Dispute is not resolved in accordance with Article 14.1, such Dispute shall not be submitted to an arbitration proceeding in accordance with Article 14.2, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, and instead, either Party may initiate litigation in the courts of England and Wales.

14.5 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed under the laws of England without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would require the application of the Laws of a different state.
