Intellectual Property Quarterly

Intellectual Property Quarterly (IPQ) is a leading journal on the discussion of legal and policy issues relating to intellectual property law. Articles focus on all aspects of the subject including policy, doctrine, history, and the economic and social impacts of intellectual property, and many of the articles are interdisciplinary. IPQ is committed to its international coverage but still retains its original emphasis on common law jurisdictions.

Published four times a year and available in print, online on Westlaw UK and as an eBook on ProView, each issue offers an invaluable perspective and insight into the subject.

The General Editor welcomes the submission of articles for consideration with a view to publication. Articles should aim to be approximately 10,000-15,000 words however shorter contributions are welcome and longer ones may be considered.

Submission of a paper will be held to imply that it contains original and unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Please email submissions directly to the General Editor including a summary of no more than 150 words.

Contributors must supply their full contact details for further correspondence and are responsible for complying with the house style guide before making a submission.

Copyright in all contributions remains with the contributors. Thomson Reuters acquires all publication rights.
