Abstract

The article is devoted to the study of general principles of introduction of mediation as an alternative way of resolving copyright disputes in Ukraine. Today, the Institute of Mediation in Ukraine is under development, which is confirmed by the active research of scientists who emphasize the benefits of mediation and emphasize the need for its introduction. It is established that the use of mediation to resolve conflicts over intellectual property is one of the most promising areas in terms of the development of mediation institutions and the reasons for this. The current state of legal regulation of mediation in Ukraine and mediation procedures in the national legislation of EU member states are analyzed. Among the advantages of mediation are: cost-effectiveness (mediation does not require payment of court fees and other court costs); adoption by the parties of an independent mutually beneficial decision; maintaining confidentiality (important disputes that could potentially damage the business reputation of the parties, especially in intellectual property disputes).
