WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center, operated by the World Intellectual Property Organization, provides a trusted platform for resolving disputes related to intellectual property, like trademarks, patents, and copyrights. It offers services such as arbitration (a private, binding decision by a neutral third party) and mediation (a collaborative process to reach a voluntary agreement). These methods are often faster and more cost-effective than courts, helping businesses and individuals settle IP disagreements efficiently and privately, without the need for lengthy litigation.
