This webinar is jointly organized by WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (WIPO Center)  and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and will discuss how SMEs can utilize Mediation in the context of SEP-related negotiations or disputes.

The USPTO will moderate a panel discussion between two SMEs about the standardization process and how mediation can facilitate SEP licensing. The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center will share its case experience in FRAND and SEP disputes and moderate a panel discussion in which WIPO Neutrals will go into detail on what is involved in the mediation process.
