ABSTRACT 

This paper deals with the role of arbitration and mediation as an alternative method for resolving disputes related to Intellectual Property (IP) apart from a traditional method like litigation which proves to be a very time-consuming method and expensive when we compare it with arbitration and mediation. Furthermore, the paper will focus on listing the advantages of arbitration and mediation when it comes to IP disputes and also analyze the increasing need to support these methods in India with the help of Legal framework like WIPO Arbitration and Mediation rules. Understanding what IP matters are arbitral depending on judicial precedents as there is no specific statute in India till now which can clearly state the IP dispute resolution by alternate methods.
