On 16 October 2026, the Patent Mediation and Arbitration Centre (PMAC) concluded its first memorandum of understanding with a national court: the Specialised Business Division of the Court of Milan. While non-binding in nature, the agreement establishes a framework for cooperation aimed at promoting alternative dispute resolution in patent matters.

In the latest newsletter, Chiomenti professionals analyzed PMAC and its remit and the objectives and effects of the memorandum of understanding, as well as its potential role in encouraging the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms in patent and patent-related disputes.
