Institute of Brand and Innovation Law

About IBIL

The Institute of Brand and Innovation Law was established in 2007, by the late Sir Hugh Laddie, to reflect UCL’s strategy of expanding its activity in the field of intellectual property law. The Institute was launched at an event in June 2008 - download the launch brochure

Our staff have judicial, practical and academic experience. In addition, we are assisted by an advisory panel, consisting of judges, practitioners and members of the intellectual property institutions.
