The John Marshall Review of Intellectual Property Law

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The John Marshall Review of Intellectual Property Law (RIPL) is a student-run and student-edited electronic journal devoted to the advancement of legal scholarship in the field of intellectual property. RIPL was founded in 2001 ^[1] by a group of students seeking to enhance the intellectual property program at The John Marshall Law School. RIPL is comprised of John Marshall’s top students, many of which are enrolled in the law school’s internationally recognized IP program. Many RIPL students possess a technical background--with degrees ranging from a bachelor of science to a Ph.D.--and have experience in patent, trademark, copyright, trade-secret, and antitrust law. RIPL’s issues are published four times each year and are available on LexisNexis, Westlaw, and the RIPL homepage. Notably, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has cited RIPL as a source of persuasive authority.^[2]
