DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Intellectual Property Policy (CIPP) welcomes Pro
 fessor Jacques de Werra\, Law School\, University of Geneva\, for a talk o
 n alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mecanisms for disputes arising on i
 nternet platforms.\n\nWe have requested accreditation by a recognized prov
 ider for 1.5 hours of Continuing Legal Education for jurists.\n\nAbstract
 \n\nThe power of Internet platforms is enormous. Their power particularly 
 includes the ability to control the availability of content on their platf
 orm\, which can lead to various types of disputes with Internet users. Dis
 putes about the availability of illegal content on Internet platforms can 
 take multiple forms\, which can range from IP infringements (specifically 
 copyright and trademark infringement) to the violation of other rights and
  interests (e.g. protection of privacy\, personal data\; protection agains
 t criminal activities\, etc.). Traditional litigation before national cour
 ts is frequently not adequate for solving these disputes because of its us
 ual drawbacks in terms of accessibility\, costs and duration.\n\nThis is w
 hy alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms can offer a viable opti
 on for solving such Internet-related disputes and can help address the cha
 llenges of Massive Online Micro-Justice (MOMJ)\, i.e. an online justice sy
 stem that aims at solving a massive amount of micro Internet-related dispu
 tes affecting citizens and companies alike that are presently submitted to
  online platforms and decided by them. On this basis\, the presentation wi
 ll discuss the need to develop global policies governing online alternativ
 e dispute resolution mechanisms for disputes with Internet platforms. This
  appears critical in order to avoid fragmentation and to maintain access t
 o justice in cyberspace. The presentation will further analyze different p
 olicy projects that have been initiated in Europe in order to regulate Int
 ernet platforms from the perspective of the development of alternative dis
 pute resolution mechanisms. It will specifically discuss the Recommendatio
 n of the European Commission on measures to effectively tackle illegal con
 tent online of March 1\, 2018 and the Recommendation CM/Rec(2018) of the C
 ommittee of Ministers to member States on the roles and responsibilities o
 f internet intermediaries of the Council of Europe adopted on March 7\, 20
 18.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nJacques de Werra is professor of contract law 
 and intellectual property law at the Law School of the University of Genev
 a\, Switzerland since 2006 and is vice-rector of the University of Geneva 
 since 2015. Jacques de Werra researches\, publishes and speaks on intellec
