Probably the most popular method of alternative dispute resolution used in intellectual property disputes is mediation. Mediation is a process in which the parties meet face-to-face to discuss their respective positions with the assistance of a neutral third party — a mediator. The mediator may be appointed by mutual agreement between both parties.
Mediation, as a form of conflict resolution, helps settle disputes without going to court. Participation in mediation can save time, reduce legal expenses, and minimize costs for both you and your opponent.
