Wake Forest Journal of Business & Intellectual Property Law

The Wake Forest Journal of Business and Intellectual Property Law is a student organization sponsored by Wake Forest University School of Law and dedicated to the examination of business and intellectual property law. Originally established as the Wake Forest Intellectual Property Law Journal in 2001, the Journal rebranded in 2010 to provide a new forum for the publication of legal scholarship that explores general and intersectional issues in business and intellectual property law. The Journal publishes four issues annually, maintains an active blog devoted to the advancement of professional discourse on relevant business and intellectual property law issues, and hosts an annual symposium dedicated to the implications of business and intellectual property law within a specific context. The Journal's student staff members are selected for membership based upon academic achievement and performance in an annual writing competition, or extensive experience in the field of intellectual property and business. The Journal invites the submission of legal scholarship in the form of articles, notes, comments, and empirical studies for publication in one of the Journal's published print issues. Submissions are timely reviewed by the Manuscripts Editor, and decisions to extend offers of publication are made by the Board of Editors. The Board of Editors work closely and collaboratively with authors to prepare pieces for publication. Submissions will be featured on our active social media accounts, including Twitter and LinkedIn, and authors may be invited to speak at the Journal’s annual symposium if the subject matter is topical.
