9 Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR): Mediation, Arbitration, Expert Determination
조정 Mediation: an informal procedure in which a neutral intermediary, the mediator, assists the parties in reaching a settlement of their dispute, based on the parties’ respective interests. The mediator cannot impose a decision. The settlement agreement has the force of a contract. 중재 Arbitration: a procedure in which the parties submit their dispute to one or more chosen arbitrators, for a binding and final decision (award) based on the parties’ respective rights and obligations and enforceable as an award under arbitral law. Arbitration constitutes an alternative to court litigation. 전문가 결정 Expert Determination: a procedure in which the parties submit a specific matter (e.g. technical question) to one or more experts who make a determination on the matter, which can be binding unless the parties have agreed otherwise.

10 ADR – Benefits and Limitations WIPO Experience
Should be Consensual (either before or after a dispute) Benefits International / Neutral Competent Efficient / Flexible Confidential Finality

11 단일성 / 중립성 In ADR, parties designate a single forum for resolving the entire dispute Comprehensive and consistent resolution, rather than a patchwork of conflicting court decisions No party is forced to litigate in the other’s home country Avoid possible actual or perceived home court advantage of party that litigates in its own country International (procedural) standards WIPO: non-profit, international organization (part of UN) Competitive fee range

12 전문성 IP disputes tend to be technical/specialized WIPO list of neutrals
Most courts are not specialized in IP (IBA 2005 Survey) Possibility of jury (lay people) trial WIPO list of neutrals +1,500 candidates from 70 countries Broad range of ADR, IP and technical backgrounds

13 당사자 자치 / 효율성 Party control (shortened deadlines)
WIPO expedited arbitration case example: Both parties agree on short deadlines for written submissions Sole arbitrator, one day hearing, Award within 5 weeks Parties can submit all or part of the dispute to arbitration E.g.: only one patent covering relevant technology Appeal option WIPO: if agreed, first (one member) and second instance (three members)

14 WIPO ECAF: Case File Web-based electronic docket
Online filing, storage, classification, and communication Security: Authentication + Encryption + Firewall 14 14

15 비밀유지 WIPO Rules require all participants to preserve confidentiality regarding: Existence of procedure, disclosures made during procedure, result of procedure (settlement, award) Specific provision on protection of trade secrets in arbitral proceedings Preserving relationships Confidentiality helps parties to focus on the merits of the dispute, without concern about its public implications

16 최종성 / 집행가능성 Facilitated international enforcement mechanism for arbitral awards under the New York Convention (145 Member States) Automatic enforcement of arbitration award Enforceable except limited situations (e.g., lack of due process, against the public policy) Binding only on the parties No public precedent No general declaration of (in)validity No direct office action (registration, cancellation) But: inter partes effect proves mostly sufficient

34 기술거래에 있어 분쟁해결에 관한 WIPO 국제조사 예비결과: 시사점
분쟁을 미리 예상 당사자, 권리, 법의 국제적 양상의 가능성에 대비 다른 고려사항보다는 시간과 비용을 최소화할 수 있도록 설계 조정을 포함 중재와 법정소송 중에서 보다 빠르고 비용이 적게 드는 선택으로서 중재를 고려 중재를 선택했을 때는, 분쟁의 규모에 따라 신속중재를 고려 계약외 분쟁에서 당사자간 협상과 중재의 이용가능성 고려 특허소송에서의 분쟁당사자의 통상적인 목적은 재판외 분쟁해결을 통해 효율적으로 이룰 수 있다 박은아, WIPO 중재조정센터
