The Center collaborates with the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center on WIPO's IP- and technology-related alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, promoting and facilitating the use of WIPO ADR for ASME members.
The Center offers ADR options for the resolution of commercial disputes between private parties. Developed by leading experts in cross-border dispute settlement, the arbitration, mediation, and expert determination procedures offered by the Center are widely recognised as particularly appropriate for technology, entertainment, and other disputes involving intellectual property.

The panel's term of appointment will be from 1 March 2026 to 31 December 2027.
Insightful sharing by an esteemed panel on IP and Internationalisation. Selected SMEs had the opportunity to attend a 1-on-1 tailored guidance session by expert teams comprising WIPO specialists, ASME representatives, and local IP experts across two parallel tracks.
The WIPO advisory session was extremely valuable in helping me understand how to structure and protect IP as a strategic business asset for my 2 businesses, and Renee was very helpful in sharing her experience and providing her views from the legal perspectives.
The session was very informative, and it had a lot of substance. The consultant elaborated and gave me a clearer picture on trademark situations.
