       As  global commerce   continues to expand, the volume   of cross-border disputes regarding

commercial  and  intellectual property ' disputes has increased substantially. Contract, business and

intellectual property disputes are protected by laws which might vary from region to region. The

question naturally arises as to the proper forum to handle international litigation between parties

located in different countries and across cultural divides. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

allows interested parties to explore options, beyond traditional judicial intervention, to handle global

commercial  and intellectual property disputes.
