FedArb and WIPO Announce Collaboration on Intellectual Property Disputes
December 13, 2023 – FedArb and the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center have announced they have jointly developed a set of standard dispute resolution clauses tailored for technology companies to use in their contracts. These model clauses can be found here.
These clauses enable litigants to combine WIPO’s comprehensive, best-in-class rules with FedArb’s 120 arbitrators and mediators that include renowned and respected jurists with specific industry knowledge and substantive expertise in intellectual property and technology law.
In addition, FedArb and WIPO will collaborate and promote how technology companies can best resolve their international technology-related disputes using ADR, like arbitration and mediation.
“FedArb’s alliance with WIPO in Europe complements our alliance with the Singapore International Arbitration Center,” said Kennen D. Hagen, FedArb’s president and CEO. “Both of these arbitral institutions are leaders in ADR and successfully work with parties to resolve their technology, cyber and intellectual property disputes. FedArb’s international practice is focused on collaborating with the international community to provide tribunals with arbitrators and mediators who understand technology issues and are the leaders in the industry.”
