Founded in 1984, the Intellectual Property Journal (IPJ) covers matters relating to all aspects of Intellectual Property such as patents, trade-marks, copyright, designs, trade secrets, and related areas such as privacy. The focus of the journal is on Canadian material with a mix of comparative and international law content. The IPJ contains articles, opinions, book reviews, case commentaries and writings on legal developments around the world. The IPJ accepts submissions from any interested parties, including students, provided that they meet a high standard of scholarly rigour.
The Journal, edited by Professor Giuseppina D’Agostino, is published by Carswell (http://www.carswell.com/product-detail/intellectual-property-journal/) three times per year.
Professor D’Agostino invites Osgoode law students to apply for the student editor positions. These editors will be responsible for reviewing and arranging for the peer review of journal articles, providing feedback to those who have submitted papers to the journal and coordinating logistical matters, including communicating with authors regarding deadlines and other journal policies.
