JIPLP: Border Measures, a second edition

Border Measures, a second edition

The second edition of Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights through Border Measures, edited by Olivier Vrins and Marius Schneider, has now been published by Oxford University Press.

The Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (JIPLP) is particularly pleased to be associated with this title. Marius Schneider is a member of the journal's editorial board and an indefatigable supporter and Olivier is one of its most distinguished contributors. A piece jointly authored by Olivier and Marius appeared in the inaugural issue of JIPLP and it was Marius who penned the first article from the journal to be cited in an Opinion of the Advocate General of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

But the JIPLP connection with this book goes even further. Several chapters have been written by JIPLP authors and board members past and present, including a somewhat provocative chapter by JIPLP Editor in Chief Jeremy Phillips.

JIPLP thanks Marius and Olivier for their support and wishes them the best of luck with their second edition.

About this weblog

The principal contents of this weblog are drawn from the Current Intelligence features which are published monthly in JIPLP.

Current Intelligence articles are designed to analyse recent key cases, legislation and topical matters. Normally they are of between 500 and 1,500 words (though in exceptional cases a greater word length may be agreed with the Editors).

The selected Current Intelligence articles are now posted on this weblog to enable readers to engage with them, posting comments if they so choose. All comments are moderated, which means that they will not appear immediately upon their being posted.

About the Journal

JIPLP is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to intellectual property law and practice. Published monthly, coverage includes the full range of substantive IP topics, practice-related matters such as litigation, enforcement, drafting and transactions, plus relevant aspects of related subjects such as competition and world trade law.

The journal is specifically designed for IP lawyers, patent attorneys and trade mark attorneys both in private practice and working in industry. It also aims to be an essential source of reference for academics specialising in IP, members of the judiciary, officials in IP registries and regulatory bodies, and institutional libraries. Subject-matter covered is chosen for its practical relevance and international interest.

... and authors in search of an article

JIPLP is often approached by prospective authors who would like to write something, but who would appreciate guidance regarding subject-matter, style and so forth. Here are a few pointers:

* Ask yourself what is it that you'd like to read in the journal, since that is handy rule of thumb which probably reflects the interests of your colleagues and your competitors;

* IP law and practice is very much a 'here and now' activity for JIPLP subscribers. The history of a right may be inherently interesting, or even sometimes relevant to the resolution of a specific issue, but would you expect a reader to look for it in JIPLP?

* Recycled Masters' dissertations and university essays make poor articles and are often difficult to convert from a piece that is designed to display erudition and research ability into an article that addresses lawyers, businesses and decision-makers. It's usually easier to start afresh by working out who your readers are and what you want to tell them.

* Please comply with the authors' instructions and note the journal's preferred length for articles. Most authors like to publish long ones, but subscribers tend to prefer reading shorter ones.
