Established in 1980 by Sir Roy Goode, its mission is to develop a body of knowledge and skills in the areas of commercial law —- arbitration, intellectual property, taxation, financial law, banking law, information technology law and European law —- that can be placed at the service of government, public bodies, overseas institutions, the legal profession, industry and commerce. It includes the Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute (QMIPRI), a globally recognised centre for research and teaching in the field of intellectual property law, policy and practice.
