WIPO Arbitration Services – Speaker TBC
Since the launch of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) ccTLD Program in the year 2000, the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center (WIPO Center) has provided technical assistance to many ccTLDs with a view to establishing registration conditions and dispute resolution procedures that conform with international standards of intellectual property protection while taking into account the particular circumstances and needs of the individual ccTLD. The WIPO Center also provides a variety of publicly available ccTLD registration and dispute information resources. Building on 10 years of experience administering almost 20,000 domain name dispute cases, the WIPO Center currently provides domain name dispute resolution services for 65 country code top level domains in some 12 languages. This session will elaborate on that experience.
Dispute resolution under .CL: A case of LDRP based on Arbitration – Margarita Valdes, .cl
In September 1997, two years ahead of the UDRP, NIC Chile introduced a Local Dispute Resolution Policy based on Arbitration. Initially, it only allowed complaints to be filed shortly after the registration of a domain, and this was later extended for the case of abusive registrations. Also, in 2000 a mediation stage was introduced, as a way to avoid arbitration costs for cases that could be resolved by mutual agreement.
Currently, NIC Chile is working to improve the process, including the implementation of electronic arbitration, an important innovation under the Chilean legal framework.
