                                                    The Institute of Brand and Innovation Law at UCL Laws provides
                                                    a unique forum for academics, the judiciary, policy-makers, the
                                                    professions and users of the IP system to come together and
                                                    exchange ideas on cutting-edge IP issues.

                                                    The current Director, Professor Sir Robin Jacob, has continued
                                                    the legacy and the outstanding vision of IBIL’s founder, Sir Hugh
                                                    Laddie, and is fostering the strength of UCL in London as a centre
                                                    for intellectual property practice and scholarship. He has helped
                                                    to shape a multi-disciplinary research programme on intellectual
                                                    property, within UCL and more broadly worldwide, and leads IBIL’s
                                                    young, dynamic IP team.

                                                    IBIL provides top quality teaching at undergraduate, post-graduate
                                                    and PhD levels for tomorrow’s practitioners and IP thinkers. As well
                                                    as giving students a thorough grounding in general intellectual
                                                    property, our specialist Masters courses provide in-depth

                                                    IBIL runs a serious program of events at the highest level, designed
                                                    with the interests of sponsors in mind. Events include seminars,
                                                    public lectures, conferences and workshops on all aspects of IP
                                                    and we will actively seek input and ideas from our sponsors during
                                                    the year.

                                                    IBIL’s reputation as the leading European centre for IP allows
                                                    it to attract distinguished speakers from a diverse range of
                                                    backgrounds. This provides the ideal forum for key issues to
                                                    be debated as expert opinion can be heard from contrasting
                                                    perspectives.
