WIPO Mediation and Arbitration Workshop

Shanghai, China, October 18, 2018

Organized by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center

In collaboration with:

Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration

With the support of:

Shanghai Commercial Mediation Center

Shanghai International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission
(Shanghai International Arbitration Center)


Overview

For many companies, intellectual property has become an essential business asset as well as a means of creating value. It is being exploited on an increasingly international level in various forms of collaborative arrangements, such as licenses and technology transfer agreements and R&D agreements. As a consequence, parties increasingly look for dispute resolution mechanisms that match their business requirements: private procedures which provide efficient, flexible and less costly means of settling international disputes without disrupting commercial relationships.

WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (WIPO Center) offers Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) procedures, in particular arbitration, mediation and expert determination, for the resolution of international commercial disputes between private parties.

To further promote ADR awareness among intellectual property and technology stakeholders, the WIPO Center is organizing a one-day Mediation and Arbitration Workshop in Shanghai on October 18, 2018.

Description

The purpose of the Workshop is to promote the understanding of participants of ADR options for the resolution of intellectual property disputes. The training will focus on the conduct of mediation and arbitration procedures, with particular reference to the practical case application of the WIPO Mediation, Arbitration and Expedited Arbitration Rules in international intellectual property and in particular patent disputes.

The format of the Workshop will consist of presentations by the instructors, in English and Chinese, with Q&A opportunities. After completion of the Workshop, participants will have a better understanding of the substantive components of international commercial mediation and arbitration, as well as the benefits and limitations of ADR in intellectual property disputes as compared to other dispute resolutions options, in particular court litigation. In addition, they will obtain practical information about the role of the WIPO Center in ADR proceedings, the WIPO Rules and WIPO model clauses.

Faculty

The Workshop will be conducted by experienced mediators and arbitrators with extensive international experience, including exposure to intellectual property, technology issues, and entertainment transactions.
