More about the AHRB Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law at Edinburgh University

The Arts and Humanities Research Board Centre for Studies in Intellectual Property and Technology Law was established in 2002 in the Faculty of Law of Edinburgh University with the assistance of the Arts and Humanities Research Board. Its Chair - Professor Hector MacQueen, - and four co-Directors - Ms Lilian Edwards, Mr. Andres Guadamuz, Dr. Graeme Laurie and Dr. Charlotte Waelde - have worked together since the establishment of their earlier research centre SCRIPT in 1998. The Centre conducts research into law, technology, commerce and society in the widest possible sense; its anchor projects are 'Privacy, Property and Personality'; 'Intellectual Property, Cultural Heritage and the Public Domain'; and 'E- commerce Legislation within the EU', bringing together academic and practising lawyers. Among its many publications http://www.law.ed.ac.uk/ahrb/publications/index.asp are a number of reports dealing with copyright management and the law.

The joint project leads for Creative Commons Scotland are Professor Hector MacQueen, hector.macqueen@ed.ac.uk who is Chair of the Governing Board of the Research Centre, and Jonathan Mitchell QC, who is a practicing Queens Counsel and a visiting Research Fellow at the Centre.
