# WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center

The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center is the unit of the World Intellectual Property Organization that handles domain name disputes under the UDRP. It is a leading UDRP provider worldwide.

## Why it matters

WIPO appoints expert panels who decide whether a domain should be transferred or canceled. Cases are filed online, and a typical case is decided within weeks. Owners get a short time to respond. For buyers, WIPO decisions are public and help show how panels treat a given type of name. Sellers should read past cases on similar words before pricing a name that matches a trademark. Common mistake: ignoring a WIPO notice. Most losses happen by default, when the owner never replies to the complaint.
