Voices from the 2022 WIPO IP Judges Forum

Judges from around the world who attended the WIPO Intellectual Property Judges Forum in November 2022 share their thoughts on the challenges of adjudicating intellectual property (IP) disputes, the benefits of cross-border judicial dialogue, and how WIPO can assist IP judges in their role of ensuring a balanced and effective IP ecosystem.

The Forum is an annual event organized by the WIPO Judicial Institute as part of WIPO’s work with the judiciaries.
