focused) and dispute settlement mechanisms (litigation, arbitration, mediation) associated to different legal remedies (reparation, compensation, compliance) can be used to devise innovative and complex legal strategies.

Join our domain name and intellectual property experts as they exchange their views on salient issues pertaining to Intellectual Property disputes and assess cutting-edge legal approaches towards the cyberspace and its multifaceted challenges.
