What is mediation general comprise seven main stages:
At the first stage, following the appointment of the mediator, initial
contacts will take place between the mediator and the parties during
which the arrangements for the first meeting of the mediator with
the parties will be established and the mediator will suggest what
documentation (generally a statement of the case) he or she would
like each party to provide prior to that meeting.
(2) At the second stage, at the outset of the first meeting between the
mediator and the parties, the mediator and the parties will establish
the ground rules that are to be followed in the process. The mediator
will, thus, at this stage agree with the parties whether the mediator’s
role is to be evaluative or facilitative and whether or not
separate caucuses will be held.
(3) Once the ground rules of the process are clear, the third stage of
gathering information and identifying the issues will proceed.
(4) Once the issues have been identified and the positions that each party
is adopting in relation to those issues are clarified, the mediator will
attempt, with the parties, to uncover the real interests that underlie
the positions that are being adopted by the parties. The advantage
of uncovering these interests is that there is generally more than one
way in which an interest can be satisfied, while there is often only
one way in which a position can be satisfied. For example, the position
of a spouse in a family dispute may be that he or she wishes to
have ownership of the family house. The interest underlying that
position, however, may be security for the spouse and the children,
which might be able to be satisfied in ways other than ownership of
the house.
(5) Following the identification of the interests that lie beneath the parties’
positions, the mediator will endeavour to develop with the parties
a range of options for satisfying those interests.
(6) The mediator will then embark with the parties upon an evaluation
of the various options that have been developed and endeavour to
establish with the parties which of the options best satisfies both parties’
interests.
(7) Finally, in a successful mediation, there will be a concluding stage,
which will usually involve the parties retiring to consider independently
whether or not they are able to conclude on the basis of one
of the options that has been developed and evaluated.
The WIPO Arbitration Rules were developed, after extensive consultation,
with the intention of satisfying four general objectives:
to provide for an expeditious and efficient procedure;
* to take account of the latest approaches and developments in international
commercial arbitration;
“ to be particularly sensitive to the specific requirements of intellectual
property disputes;
“ to provide some certainty in relation to cost exposure on the part of
potential disputants.
