Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal

Sponsored by the State Bar of Texas Intellectual Property Law Section

Welcome to the Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal (TIPLJ). Articles appearing in the Journal focus on substantive legal issues and recent developments in the areas of patent, copyright, trademark, unfair competition, and trade secret law. The Journal also publishes articles concerning issues arising in intellectual property litigation and practice before the Patent and Trademark Office.

TIPLJ Mission

Our primary mission is the timely publication of an intellectual property law journal that is respected as a high quality intellectual property law publication. In order to achieve our mission we will:

Maintain impeccable academic integrity throughout each issue;
In conjunction with our stakeholders, continue to improve our processes to ensure we maintain our quality and timeliness, and
Strive to present articles that are on the forefront of intellectual property issues and/or offer thought provoking insights into intellectual property law.

We will continue to provide forums for presenting intellectual property issues through the journal, a speaker series at UT, our annual intellectual property symposium, and other opportunities as they may arise.

And finally, we will promote, within TIPLJ and the University, an environment where law students interested in intellectual property law can learn, lead and have fun while engaging in one of the most important areas of law developing in the high tech global economy.

TIPLJ Vision

The Texas Intellectual Property Law Journal vision is to be the leading intellectual property law journal at the premiere intellectual property law university. We want to be the forum of choice for intellectual property law practitioners, professors and students around the globe. Our primary focus will center on providing significant and innovative contributions to U.S. intellectual property law.

We recognize that our long-term success is tied to the excellence of the intellectual property law program at the University of Texas School of Law. We will work with the university, intellectual property practitioners, and the intellectual property section of the state bar for the betterment of that program.
