EUIPO Mediation at a Glance: Helping Businesses Avoid IP Litigation

We have tuned in for the webinar “EUIPO Mediation at a Glance: Helping Businesses Avoid IP Litigation” with Plamena Georgieva, IP Lawyer & Mediator at the Boards of Appeal, hosted in cooperation with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The session unpacked how intellectual property disputes, which often escalate into lengthy and costly litigation, can instead be addressed through mediation. Participants discovered the role of the EUIPO Mediation Centre, the situations where mediation is most effective, and the tangible advantages it offers for companies navigating complex, cross-border conflicts. The takeaway was clear: mediation is not only faster and more cost-efficient, but it also helps preserve valuable business relationships.
