The solution lies in the introduction of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms, for the redressal of grievances related to infringement of protected rights of an intellectual property holder. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms are less time consuming, efficient and provide flexibility to the right holder. It is important to note that in all the commercial transactions, the route of alternate dispute resolution has already shown its majority over the traditional modes of litigation. The mechanisms include-

  1. Arbitration
  2. Conciliation
  3. Mediation
  4. Negotiation
  5. Lok Adalat

We aim to help our clients avoid disputes by advising them on their dispute resolution procedures and managing the risk of disputes occurring. When disputes do arise, we know clients want them resolved, before they escalate, in a practical and efficient way that protects their immediate and future commercial interests.
