WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center
The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center provides efficient and cost-effective alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, including mediation, arbitration, expedited arbitration, and expert determination. These mechanisms assist private parties in resolving both domestic and cross-border commercial disputes outside of the courts.
The WIPO Center is an international institution with specialized expertise in intellectual property (IP) and technology-related disputes. It is also the global leader in domain name dispute resolution, administering cases under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) developed by WIPO.
WIPO ADR procedures are specialized, flexible, and confidential. Their consensual nature promotes a less adversarial approach to dispute resolution, which can help parties preserve or strengthen existing business relationships. When effectively managed, ADR can reduce both the time and cost associated with dispute resolution.
