lawsuits in all areas, especially intel-
lectual property, can be extremely
expensive and time-consuming.
But different options can be used
by the parties to help resolve con-
flicts quicker and less costly, such
as arbitration.
So, the WIPO Arbitration and Me-
diation Center offers time- and
cost-efficient alternative dispute
resolution (ADR) options, such as
mediation, arbitration, expedited
arbitration, and expert determi-
nation to enable private parties to
settle their domestic or cross-bor-
der commercial disputes. So, the
WIPO Center specializes in IP and
technology disputes. In this case,
IFIA wanted to introduce WIPO’s
potential to you inventors, and we
hope that you can use the solutions
when needed.
Moreover, IFIA plans to hold “IF-
IA-WIPO Webinar: How to Resolve
IP and Innovation Disputes Using
WIPO Mediation and Arbitration”
in a more specialized way in some
countries, in other languages. So, if
you want IFIA to hold this event in
your country, contact the IFIA offic-
es in your region.
Lastly, IFIA thanks Mr. Marco Ma-
tias Aleman, Assistant General Di-
rector of WIPO, and Mr. Bijan Nasiri
Azam, The IP Office Manager of the
International Federation of Inven-
tors Associations, for holding this
webinar and helping IFIA expand
and develop the invention and in-
novation ecosystem.
