The John Marshall Law School
Review of Intellectual Property Law
CALL FOR PAPERS
The John Marshall Law School’s Review of Intellectual Property Law (RIPL) will
publish a video game law themed issue. This issue will be the 3rd issue in the 16th
volume.
We are honored to invite the world’s practitioners and scholars in the field to
write on intellectual property issues surrounding video game law. The themed
issue will bring together an inspiring group of individuals on the cutting edge of
an ever developing field of law. RIPL invites these authors to publish their writings
in our journal in the 2017 RIPL themed issue.
RIPL is an honors law review comprised of top students participating in the
internationally recognized intellectual property program at The John Marshall
Law School. These students have a variety of IP backgrounds, experience in
trade secret, patent, trademark, and copyright law, and an extensive amount
of editing experience. Since its founding, RIPL has earned accolades and
judicial citation by publishing renowned authors, including Justice John Paul
Stevens, Chief Judge Paul Michel, Judge Richard Linn, Donald Chisum, and
Maria Pallante.
Topics for past themed issues include constitutional law, criminal law and
environmental law. Last year’s symposium on art restitution and cultural
preservation in the context of international human rights brought together a
wide range of experts in the fields of history, museum management, law and
human rights. We look forward to an equally stimulating and impactful
symposium again this year.
Submission Guidelines
RIPL is pleased to invite you to propose a paper on any topic encompassed by
the Symposium theme. These topics may include copyright, trademark, trade
secret, patent, right of publicity, and any other area of law involving the video
game industry so long as it covers some aspect of intellectual property law.
