Scholarly Open Access Intellectual Property Rights Journals
IP is protected in
law by, for example, patents, copyright and trademarks, which enable people to earn recognition or financial benefit from what they invent or create. By striking the right balance between the interests of innovators and the wider public interest, the IP system aims to foster an
environment in which creativity and innovation can flourish. Intellectual property rights are the rights given to persons over the creations of their minds. They usually give the creator an exclusive right over the use of his/her creation for a certain period of time. According to WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organization), “intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce.” Divided into two categories, IP includes industrial property and copyright. And both are equally as valuable since the ramifications of not protecting these assets can be serious. Scholarly
journals serve as forums for the introduction and presentation for scrutiny of new research, and the critique of existing research. Content typically takes the form of
articles presenting original research, review articles, and book reviews. The term Scholarly journal applies to scholarly publications in all fields; this article discusses the aspects common to all academic field journals. The International Review of Intellectual Property and Competition
Law (IIC) is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition. Founded in 1970, IIC is one of the most respected
journals in the fields of intellectual property and competition law, presenting contributions with the highest standards of academic research.
IIC publishes research on the most significant developments in IP and competition
law from around the world. Our aim is to provide a European perspective on these important topics to an international audience.
The journal adopts a multidisciplinary approach and offers a platform for opposing ideas, providing for rich debate on a host of current IP and competition
law issues.
