Marquette Intellectual Property & Innovation Law Review

The Marquette Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Review invites the submission of unsolicited manuscripts by scholars and practitioners that offer critical, reflective thinking regarding important cutting-edge issues in intellectual property. Our editorial board and staff work with authors to provide a thorough editing process for accepted articles prior to publication. Managing editors supervise staff members as they compile the cited sources, edit footnotes for accuracy, and review the article text to ensure readability while maintaining the author’s unique voice.

Published articles and completed issues will be promoted on the Marquette Law School Faculty Blog and the redesigned Marquette Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Review website. Our website houses all the articles published by the Marquette Intellectual Property and Innovation Law Review (in convenient PDF format) and is constantly updated as new issues reach completion.

Contributors are asked to submit word-processed manuscripts double-spaced with quoted matter clearly indicated. Authors should include a brief paragraph of biographical data, an abstract, and should follow The Bluebook: A Uniform System Of Citation (21st ed. 2020). Please ensure footnotes are readily accessible. Any submissions submitted with endnotes or citations at the end of an article will not be considered.

Each article or commentary will be reviewed, and if accepted will be published as soon as the publication schedule permits. Note that Law Review published bi-annually, issue one in the Fall/Winter and issue two in the Spring/Summer. For this reason many manuscripts accepted arrive in the summer months leading to the Fall/Winter issue. We recommend submitting during those months for the best chance of being quickly reviewed. Any material submitted for consideration will not be returned.

Please provide us with the most readily accessible contact information that you will continue to have access to. If you are a student submitting a manuscript you worked on while in school, refrain from submitting with your school email as those are generally lost when you graduate. Instead, submit under a personal email for constant access. Reviewers will reach our mostly through Scholastica but you may recieve a personal email from time to time, including when the publication agreement is sent.

If you have questions about the submission and selection process please reach out to our Articles Editors at marquette.iplr.lae@gmail.com.

You may also submit a manuscipt to the above email above.
