Now that INTA is over ...

Last week's International Trademark Association Meeting in Hong Kong provided an excellent opportunity for members of the JIPLP editorial, production and sales team to meet contributors, subscribers and readers, and to hear what they had to say about the journal.

We were encouraged to hear that JIPLP's structure and content are both still finding favour, and that the format of the Current Intelligence notes is particularly appreciated. Contributions by practitioners are favoured over those from academics, though there is a clear expression of desire for more articles by authors whose experiences are in-house.

Several people who approached us at the Oxford University Press booth were surprised to discover that this is not a pay-to-publish journal; all articles are published at no charge to the author, but each must pass through a peer-review process before publication can take place. This is intended to ensure that the journal's content is based on merit and not on the author's ability to pay.

If you would like to write for JIPLP, do please get in touch with us so that we can discuss possible subjects, timing, length and other considerations with you.  Our Commissioning Editor is Sarah Harris, whom you can email here.

INTA 2014: JIPLP and other attractions ...

We've already posted an item on the fact that the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice will be represented on the Oxford University Press booth at next month's International Trademark Association Meeting in Hong Kong. This provides a wonderful opportunity for readers, authors and subscribers to express their views and discuss their hope for JIPLP with those responsible for it. And now here's another reason for coming to visit us. According to OUP, there's a further attraction:

Confused? Now you know
where to find us!

Oxford University Press, publishers of the Journal of Intellectual Property Law & Practice (JIPLP) and a growing list of IP titles, will be represented at this year's International Trademark Association (INTA) 136th Annual Meeting in Hong Kong from 10 to 14 May 2014.

OUP can be found at booth 409. JIPLP editor Jeremy Phillips is attending the Meeting and, if he is not in the vicinity of the booth when you visit, he generally won't be too far away and you can arrange to meet him if you want to discuss anything to do with JIPLP.  Our commissioning editor Sarah Harris will also be there.  We'd appreciate the chance to meet readers, subscribers, authors and would-be contributors, so please take the opportunity to come and say "hello".
