The Intellectual Property Journal publishes original, high-quality scholarly research addressing all aspects of intellectual property law, broadly construed. The journal welcomes contributions on any topic related to intellectual property, including both established doctrines and emerging, interdisciplinary, and practice-oriented issues. Its aim is to provide a comprehensive academic forum for the critical examination of intellectual property in domestic, comparative, and international contexts.

The scope of the journal includes, without limitation, copyright law, patent law, trademarks and passing off, industrial designs, trade secrets and confidential information, digital and internet-related intellectual property issues, technology and innovation policy, intellectual property enforcement and remedies, licensing and commercialization, and intellectual property governance. The journal also actively encourages submissions exploring the interaction between intellectual property and related fields such as competition and antitrust law, international trade, human rights, data protection and privacy, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, creative industries, platform regulation, and emerging technologies.

The journal expressly welcomes multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research, provided such work maintains a clear legal focus and analytical rigor. Contributions drawing from economics, management, science and technology studies, public policy, sociology, or empirical research methodologies are encouraged where they enhance understanding of intellectual property law and its broader societal and economic implications.

In addition to regular issues, the Intellectual Property Journal publishes special issues devoted to theme-based, editor-curated, or multidisciplinary topics of contemporary significance. Special issues may be proposed by guest editors and are subject to the same rigorous peer review and editorial standards as regular submissions. Through its inclusive and forward-looking scope, the journal aims to remain responsive to evolving intellectual property challenges and to serve as an authoritative platform for diverse and innovative scholarship.
