The International Commercial and Economic Law

Research Group was established in 2003.

The Group is comprised of researchers at the School of

Law at the University of Limerick in various fields relat-

ed to commercial and economic law.

On a practical level, commercial and economic law

have a far greater influence on the everyday lives of

citizens than many other areas of the law. Throughout

the course of our lives, all of us will encounter the

legal process in our economic activity on a regular, if

not daily, basis. The regulation of economic activity is

a crucial factor in most modern economies, being

regarded as both a potential facilitator of economic

growth and a balancing mechanism between the inter-

ests of the commercial world and the citizen.

The Group is fortunate in that it has a strong network

of overseas partners and contributors in these areas of

specialisation, in particular from Europe and North

America. This network permits both comparative

research as well as access to an extensive range of

expertise for our student body.

IP Cafe 2015/16

Welcome to the IP Café at the University of

LImerick. Designed for practitioners,

business people, academics and anyone

who has to deal with IP issues on a daily

basis or is just plain curious about the role

Intellectual Property plays in the modern

commercial world, the Café is a series of

afternoon engagements focussed around a

specific topic with input from a recognised

expert in the field. It is then followed by

lively discussion among all the participants

providing for networking, peer learning and

development in the crucial area of

Intellectual Property.

All IP Café events start at 4pm and

take place in the Millstream Common

Room on the UL Campus. Attendance

is free and refreshments and finger-

foods will be served.
