Disputes surrounding copyright and intellectual property rights are increasingly common — but the options for resolving them remain limited. On one side lies the traditional litigation process, which is often complex, lengthy, costly, and emotionally draining. On the other, mediation offers a structured, alternative pathway — one that is faster, more efficient, cost-effective, and responsive to the real needs and interests of all involved parties.
My deep appreciation for all forms of art led me to specialize in Art Law, Copyright Law, and Cultural Management. I hold a Master’s degree in Art Law – Arts Management from the International Hellenic University, with a focus on the legal and ethical challenges of art restitution, cultural policy, and the protection of intellectual property
Common IP Disputes Suitable for Mediation
-
Infringement of copyright (e.g., unauthorized use or reproduction of works)
-
Infringement of industrial property rights (e.g., trademarks, patents)
-
Domain name disputes (e.g., misuse or cybersquatting of web addresses)
One of the most practical advantages of mediation is that it is often significantly less expensive than court proceedings. It is also simpler, more flexible, and quicker, offering sustainable resolutions and preserving professional and business relationships whenever possible.
Whether you’re an artist, creator, entrepreneur, or organization, mediation can help protect your work and resolve disputes in a constructive and future-oriented way.
