February JIPLP now live

The February 2013 issue of the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (JIPLP) is now available online.  Subscribers to the online edition can access it immediately in full.  Non-subscribers can purchase short-term access to the current issue of the journal if they click here and navigate towards the features of their choice.

Usually, the announcement of the publication of each issue is accompanied by the reproduction full of the Editorial for that month (don't worry: Gill Grassie's Guest Editorial will be posted soon, as a stand-alone item). This month, for a change, we are posting the journal's contents so that you can get an idea of the spread of topics that appear in JIPLP. We hope that this will encourage more new authors to come forward -- and readers too!

This month's contents look like this?
