From today’s press release: PMAC’s procedural rules adopted, paving the way for launch of new international patent ADR hub
“With the adoption of these rules, the PMAC will be able to offer efficient and appropriate dispute resolution through mediation, arbitration, expert determination and hybrid process combinations. The PMAC will handle disputes concerning European and Unitary Patents, as well as other related disputes, including complex cross-border disputes and SEP/FRAND cases.
Aleš Zalar, the director of the PMAC, said that “The PMAC’s mission is to complement the role of the UPC in the dispute resolution landscape. Both international institutions together are implementing a model multi-door courthouse policy approach, which offers many roads to justice. The PMAC is also a free-standing independent global ADR hub for IP matters. It offers disputants a wide range of dispute resolution strategies in order to avoid, or to bring to an end, patent-related multi-jurisdictional litigation disputes.”
