Article R214-16 of the French Intellectual Property Code

The failure of conciliation results from one of the following situations:

1° No agreement is reached between the parties within the period provided for in Article R. 214-11;

2° The mediator’s recommendation, referred to in the first paragraph of Article R. 214-15, has been rejected by at least one of the parties.

As a result of this failure, the mediator draws up a report of the failure to reach a settlement, a copy of which is given to each party against a receipt or sent by letter against signature or by any other means capable of establishing proof of the date of receipt of this copy, within a period of ten days.

The mediator is responsible for drawing up a report of the failure to reach a settlement, a copy of which is given to each party against a receipt or sent by letter against signature or by any other means capable of establishing proof of the date of receipt of this copy, within a period of ten days.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R214-16

L’échec de la conciliation résulte de l’une des situations suivantes :


1° Aucun accord n’est trouvé entre les parties dans le délai prévu à l’article R. 214-11 ;


2° La recommandation du médiateur, mentionnée au premier alinéa de l’article R. 214-15, a été rejetée par une au moins des parties.


Cet échec donne lieu à l’établissement par le médiateur d’un procès-verbal de constat de la non-conciliation, dont une copie est remise à chaque partie contre émargement ou adressée par lettre remise contre signature ou par tout autre moyen propre à établir la preuve de la date de réception de cette copie, dans un délai de dix jours.
