16 J. World Intell. Prop. 1 (2013)

handle is hein.journals/jwip16 and id is 1 raw text is: The Journal of World Intellectual Property (2013) Vol. 16, no. 1-2, pp. 1 do: 10.111 1/j.1747-1796.2013.12008.x The ATRIP Essay Competition This issue of the Journal contains the three best papers submitted by researchers in the annual Essay Contest of the Association for Teachers and Researchers in Intellectual Property Law (ATRIP). ATRIP was founded in 1981, the product of a vision shared by the leadership of the World Intellectual Property Organisation and a group of leading intellectual property scholars from around the world. In the succeeding thirty-two years, ATRIP has flourished, providing an ongoing forum for deliberation about teaching and research in the field of intellectual property. The ATRIP community has also grown in that time, in both numbers and geographic reach. The vitality of the community depends upon welcoming new members as they enter and establish themselves in the academy. In recent years, one of the conduits for bringing new ideas and new energy into the Association has been the annual Essay Contest. The Contest was established by Gustavo Ghidini (then President) in 2007, and has been organized and run since then by Jan Rosen, President of ATRIP from 2009-11. It is open to scholars under 33 years of age. This year, once again, we received a large number of submissions, reflecting the wide variety of research now being conducted in the field. The papers are reviewed blind and ranked by the members of the Executive Committee. The author of the paper adjudged to be the best is invited to speak at the next ATRIP Congress and to attend that Congress at ATRIP's expense. Since 2009 FICPI has generously supported the Contest by paying those expenses. The top papers emanating from this process have typically been published online, on the ATRIP website and (in 2012) in the online publication IP Theory. We are delighted that this year, Daniel Gervais, the editor of the Journal of World Intellectual Property has agreed to publish the top essays, and these are included in this issue of the Journal. These essays (and indeed many who did not make the top three) demonstrate the excellent standards of an ever rising number of young researchers in intellectual property law. The Contest, and this issue of Jan Rosen Graeme B. Dinwoodie Professor of Law Professor of Intellectual Property and University of Stockholm Information Technology Law, President, ATRIP (2009-11) University of Oxford President, ATRIP (2011-13) the Journal, celebrate this research, and bring it to a wider audience in pursuit of the objectives of the Association.
