The Evolution of Intellectual Property Disputes
The growing importance and significance of the Internet have brought along numerous challenges to legal
thoughts, approaches and systems.

focused) and dispute settlement mechanisms (litigation, arbitration, mediation) associated to different
legal remedies (reparation, compensation, compliance) can be used to devise innovative and complex legal
strategies.
