Erik Wilbers, Deputy Director of the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organization.
Based in Geneva, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center offers various forms of alternative dispute resolution options. In particular, the Center offers arbitration and mediation for intellectual property disputes such as patent and software licenses and infringements, as well as agreements on trademark coexistence, distribution of pharmaceutical products, and research and development. In recent years, the Center has played a significant role in the resolution of domain name disputes which arise exclusively online. WIPO’s procedures are specifically tailored to meet the needs of technology, entertainment and other disputes involving intellectual property. This course offers a broad review of intellectual property disputes and the different settlement mechanisms administered by WIPO. It thereby opens a discussion of the particularities of mediating and arbitrating intellectual property disputes at WIPO.
