Sources & Literature about IP-Conflictsolving

Munich Intellectual property Law Center
(MIPLC)
Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition
 
Credit for the MIPLC's seed idea is due to Professor Schricker, the former Director of the Max Planck Institute for Intellectual Property and Competition Law (now MPI for Innovation and Competition). From this seed idea grew the plan to establish an international top-quality LL.M. program to teach IP law to a diverse student body. The implementation of this plan was tackled by Professor Joseph Straus, one of Professor Schricker's successors as Director of the Max Planck Institute, and the Max Planck Society, especially its then-Secretary General Dr. Barbara Bludau.

(Robin Feldman, Professor; Director, Law & Bioscience Project, U.C. Hastings College of the Law)

USING ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION METHODS TO RESOLVE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISPUTES IN JORDAN

BASHAR H. MALKAWI (Associate Professor of Law at the University of Sharjah, U.A.E.

Disputes which arose between the members of a tribe were customarily settled by referring the disputes to the leader of the tribe.2 In resolving disputes, the leader always resorted to amicable means, including mediation. The leader endeavored to reach a solution of a particular dispute in such a way as to maintain solidarity among his people on the one hand and to maintain his honorable position on the other. ..."
