The development of innovations and market entry inevitably bring the need for adequate protection of ideas.

Intellectual property is often the most valuable asset of any startup and tech company, but in a dynamic business world, challenges and disputes over ownership or the use of rights arise. Quick and efficient resolution of such situations, without exhausting court proceedings, is crucial for business stability. Recognizing the importance of this topic for the domestic ecosystem, we invite all interested innovators and legal experts to participate in the online workshop of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which is dedicated to mediation and arbitration in this field.

This educational event will be held from November 17 to 19, from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, and the program is carefully designed to respond to real market needs. The workshop is intended for mediators, arbitration experts, intellectual property lawyers, in-house counsel, legal representatives, as well as professionals from small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups.

During the first day of the program, participants will have the opportunity to familiarize themselves in detail with mediation and its practical application, while the second day is reserved for the topic of arbitration, with a special focus on expedited proceedings. The final part of the education brings a valuable analysis of practical examples, an overview of the latest trends, and useful guidelines for properly drafting legal clauses.

Experienced mediators, arbitrators, and legal experts who have encountered a wide variety of challenges in protecting innovations throughout their careers will share their knowledge with the attendees. In addition to adopting the best global practices for dispute resolution, an official certificate of attendance will be provided for all participants who complete the full three-day program. This is an exceptional opportunity to improve your professional skills and strengthen the legal framework of your business. More details about the event itself and how to apply can be found on the organizer’s official website.
