OUT-OF-COURT CONCILIATIONS

Conciliation is an alternative dispute resolution mechanism by means of which two or more persons manage the direct solution of their differences, with the help of a neutral and qualified third party (different from the judge), called the conciliator.

They are carried out before a conciliation center, generally in the chambers of commerce, and the aim is to reach an agreement with the third party in a hearing, such agreement renders executive merit and therefore, in case of non-compliance makes it easier to enforce the third party with additional economic and agile jurisdictional processes.

As a prerequisite before initiating legal proceedings for Unfair Competition and Industrial Property Infringement, a conciliation must be attempted.
