Abstract
The WIPO and TRIPS have special manners for the settlement of intellectual property disputes. The WIPO Arbitration and MediationCenter, settles such disputes by Alternative Dispute Resolution Manners (ADR). On the basis of WTO Understanding on Rules and Procedures Governing the Settlement of Disputes, such disputes will be settled by quasi-judicial manners. In this Article we study privileges and defects, preferred manners and analyze possibility or impossibility of resorting to both mecanisms, in order to achieve a satisfactory settlement of disputes relating to intellectual property matters.
