How to deal with international intellectual property disputes?
There are five main ways to solve international intellectual property disputes: negotiation, mediation, administrative handling, arbitration and litigation. Consultation refers to the activities in which after an intellectual property dispute occurs, both parties reach a settlement agreement by themselves through direct consultation and negotiation on the basis of mutual understanding and in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws, so as to solve the dispute. Mediation refers to the activities that people's courts, arbitration institutions or mediators apply for mediation after an intellectual property dispute occurs, so that the two parties can make concessions to each other on the basis of voluntary consultation and reach an agreement, thus solving the dispute. Administrative handling refers to the activities of the parties to an intellectual property dispute or an unspecified third party requesting the intellectual property administrative organ to handle their intellectual property dispute or infringement related to intellectual property. Arbitration refers to a dispute settlement system in which the two parties to an intellectual property dispute reach an agreement on a voluntary basis, submit the dispute to an arbitration institution for trial, and the arbitration institution makes a binding decision on both parties. The parties may require the other party to bear the responsibility or perform the obligation according to the arbitration award or conciliation statement, or may request the people's court to enforce it. Civil litigation refers to the litigation activities in which the people's courts try and resolve intellectual property disputes with the participation of both parties. The parties may request the people's court to make a judgment or conciliation statement requiring the other party to assume responsibilities or perform obligations, and may request the people's court to enforce it.
