What case administration services does the Center offer?
To facilitate the resolution of intellectual property disputes, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center: • Helps parties submit existing disputes to WIPO procedures in cases where they had not previously agreed on a WIPO clause. • Assists in the selection of mediators, arbitrators and experts from the Center’s database of over 1000 neutrals with expertise in intellectual property disputes. • Sets the neutrals’ fees, after consultations with the parties and the neutrals, and administers the financial aspects of the proceedings. • Liaises with parties and neutrals to ensure optimal communication and procedural efficiency. • If the parties wish, arranges for meeting support services, including hearing rooms and caucus rooms. Where the procedure is held at WIPO in Geneva, the rooms are provided free of charge. A charge is made for any other services that may be required. This charge is separate from the Center’s administrative fee. WIPO Electronic Case Facility (WIPO ECAF): To assist in
