Patent infringements and other legal disputes in the field of industrial property protection often involve lengthy, expensive legal proceedings which often consume internal resources.

In combination with short product life cycles, strategic considerations and a closely interlinked value chain, the reckless and one-sided representation of claims is no longer appropriate and economically reasonable.

For these reasons, the mediation process in order to deal with conflicts has now been recognized worldwide and is often chosen as the primary mechanism for the settling of disputes in licensing agreements.

Mediation is to provide the basis for:

• an impartial basis of information,
• knowledge-based communications between the negotiating partners and
• impartial proposals for the coordination of interests between the negotiating partners.
