In more detail
As part of the collaboration between the government of Singapore and the WIPO, ASEAN parties can benefit from the AMP+ programme, which offers funding for mediations administered by the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center's Office in Singapore.
Previous iterations of the AMP+ programme have proven successful, with past IPOS cases having been successfully resolved through mediation administered under the earlier AMP programme.
Parties must meet certain criteria to be eligible for AMP+ (e.g., having at least one party that is an ASEAN national or entity; consenting to be named publicly; and ensuring the mediator is based in an ASEAN member state).
For more details on the AMP+ programme, you may refer to our client alert from July 2023 which covers the AMP programme.
Key takeaways
The AMP+ programme can be an effective dispute resolution option for parties to resolve IP and technology disputes amicably through mediation, and parties can take advantage of available funding.
