Invitation to Submit
Articles
The Intellectual Property and Technology
Law Review (IPTLRev)
invites members of the bench,
bar, and academic communities
to submit articles on any intellectual property law-related topic. IPTLRev is published twice each year, in the
Fall and in the Spring, and is comprised of essays, legal articles, public administration articles, and current
public law and policy issues. In particular, we prefer analysis of new laws, cases, rulings, regulations and areas
of intellectual property in which the author presents his or her opinion concerning the validity, significance
and/or impact of the question at issue, along with innovative ideas or strategies.

Article Review
All submissions will be reviewed for publication by the Board of Editors. Publication in any issue is dependent
on editorial limitations, publication schedules, and space availability. Authors will be notified of the Board's
decision regarding publication of their article as soon as possible. Accepted articles undergo extensive editorial
and technical review prior to publication. IPTLRev reserves the right to condition acceptance of an article upon
revision of the article to conform to the law review’s guidelines. No compensation is provided for published articles.
Please note that IPTLRev will not publish material that has been committed for publication in another journal except
by written permission by the Board of Editors. Authors should promptly advise the Board when their work has been
accepted elsewhere. Articles submitted to IPTLRev will be returned only in the event of an express request by the
author(s).
