Queen Mary Journal of Intellectual Property

Aims & Scope

Intellectual property law attracts diverse international attention and warrants considered scholarship and analysis.

Not only is this an area of detailed practice and study, but also a significant part of each citizen's daily life.

From the question of access to products to concerns for the creative and innovative process, this area of law is of considerable interest to scholars and the general public alike.

Modern intellectual property practice and scholarship is necessarily interdisciplinary, intersecting not only with other areas of law, but also with cultural and socio-economic approaches to knowledge.

Contemporary research considers the operation of intellectual property in the context of human rights, social, political and economic spheres.

Engaging the diversity of perspectives on these important issues is essential to comprehensive debate, and it is this richness of debate and interrogation to which QMJIP seeks to participate, by publishing high quality contributions to the field.
