Non-Profit Esports Resolution Bodies

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

ESIC and WIPO Introduce a New Games and Esports Tribunal

— January 30, 2025 — Business
The Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) and the Arbitration and Mediation Center of the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO AMC) have launched the International Games and Esports Tribunal (IGET).

This newly established not-for-profit dispute resolution body is designed to offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services to stakeholders across the gaming ecosystem. IGET will handle a wide range of conflicts, including integrity violations, commercial disputes, intellectual property (IP) issues, and contractual disagreements.

“The launch of IGET is a significant and important milestone for the global video games and esports industries,” said ESIC’s CEO, Stephen Hanna. “By combining ESIC’s expertise in maintaining integrity with WIPO’s authority in intellectual property dispute resolution, this initiative will ensure that disputes are handled professionally and swiftly, maintaining the integrity that underpins these industries’ growth and credibility.”
