Decision

1. The application for interpretation is dismissed.
2. WIPO shall pay Mr G. costs in the amount of 2,500 Swiss francs.

Consideration 3

Extract:

According to the case law, an application for interpretation is receivable only if the meaning of the judgment concerned is uncertain or ambiguous (see Judgment 1306, under 2) to such an extent that it precludes any reasonable execution of the judgment. An application for interpretation cannot be filed to obtain an opinion on a legal issue, to obtain a reply from the Tribunal to a question that it was not required to address in the context of the judgment to which the application relates, or to circumvent an internal procedure in which disputes regarding the execution of the judgment could be resolved in accordance with the adversarial principle.
