Arbitrating a domain name or trade mark dispute? WIPO scores well
Respondents with experience in intellectual property disputes named the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (55%) as their second most used institution close behind the International Court of Arbitration (ICC) (59%). Where respondents expressed a preference for an institution, the WIPO Center ranked first. Carried out by the School of International Arbitration (SIA), Queen Mary University of London, the 2016 "International Dispute Resolution Survey: An insight into resolving Technology, Media and Telecoms disputes" aimed to reveal common practices for resolving TMT disputes, including the use of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms, allowing stakeholders to benchmark their internal practices. The Survey Report highlights trends in the use of arbitration in TMT arrangements, covering types of TMT disputes, in-house dispute resolution policies and preferences, dispute resolution mechanisms in practice, and the comparative strengths and rankings of providers. Enforceability, Avoiding litigation in a foreign jurisdiction, Confidentiality, Expertise of the decision maker, and Neutrality were the five most important features of international arbitration in TMT for respondents. |
