MCST Survey on the Use of ADR Mechanisms for B2B Digital Copyright- and Content-related Disputes

The World Intellectual Property Organization’s Arbitration and Mediation Center (WIPO Center), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of the Republic of Korea (MCST), is conducting a Survey on the Use of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Mechanisms for Business to Business (B2B) Digital Copyright- and Content-related Disputes. The Survey was developed with the support of the Deep Tech Dispute Resolution Lab of the University of Oxford.

Together, we would greatly appreciate your participation in the Survey.

Objective

The objective of the Survey is to help develop a fact-based understanding of B2B digital copyright- and content-related disputes across industries and to assess the current use of ADR mechanisms (e.g., mediation, arbitration) as compared to court litigation to resolve such disputes. The Survey should also help inform the potential development of appropriate dispute resolution mechanisms for these types of disputes.

Respondents

The Survey addresses copyright- and content-intensive companies, online intermediaries and platforms, in-house and external counsel, creators, entrepreneurs, collective management organizations, mediators, arbitrators, industry associations, government bodies, and any other entities that may be involved in B2B digital copyright- and content-related disputes.

The Survey should take no more than 20 minutes to complete.

Please feel free also to share the Survey with relevant contacts.
