WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to resolve international technology and intellectual property disputes through neutral arbitration and mediation services.
The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center provides a neutral way to resolve legal disagreements outside of a traditional courtroom. It is designed specifically for resolving conflicts related to technology and intellectual property.
Who it's for
This service is for any parties involved in disputes concerning intellectual property or technology.
What you get
You receive access to a neutral dispute resolution mechanism. This is helpful for managing cross-border technology contracts where parties may be located in different countries.
What it costs you
You will need to pay registration and administration fees. The total cost depends on the specific value of the dispute being settled.
The catch to know
This is not a service you can force on another person. Both parties involved in the dispute must agree to use WIPO services to resolve their issue.
How to apply
- Review your contract to see if it includes a clause for WIPO services.
- Determine if both parties are willing to settle through mediation or arbitration.
- Visit the official portal to begin the process.
