    The EUIPO through its Boards of Appeal Alternative Dispute Resolution Service (ADRS) promotes mediation as a viable, efficient and effective alternative to just about any dispute before the EUIPO that involves more than one party. However, many IP professionals and business owners often do not have sufficient elements to guide them in their decision on whether to consider mediation or directly jump into litigation.

    During this webinar, members of the ADRS, who are also accredited mediators, will walk you through the reasons why your IP dispute may be suitable for mediation. Our mediators will support their presentation with practical illustrations on the elements of an IP dispute that favour reaching a friendly settlement. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session. 

     After this webinar, participants, whether students, practitioners, or IP system users, will be able :

    • to screen their IP disputes for mediation suitability, and thus
    • avoid long and costly litigation as well as
    • increase the potential for finding solution that is more satisfactory when compared to a formal decision or court judgement.
