Intellectual Property Quarterly

Professor Margaret Llewelyn edited the Intellectual Property Quarterly for nearly twenty years, and she managed the submission almost entirely single-handedly. When she died suddenly in November last year all her files were lost. If anyone submitted an article to Professor Llewelyn and has not heard anything back and they would still like it considered, they are kindly requested to resubmit it to the new editor (Professor Phillip Johnson) at the new journal email editor@theipq.com. If yet to receive peer review, please be assured these submissions will proceed through the usual review process. If anyone has returned a peer review in the second half of last year (and the article has not been published) please re-send to editor@theipq.com. Finally, any new content should be sent to the new journal email editor@theipq.com in order to be considered for publication in the journal.

Our PermaKat Eleonora Rosati's article "Green with... IP" was published in the recent issue of Alicante News – EUIPO’s Monthly Newsletter.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
