Readers are reminded that they can vote for their favourite intellectual property law books of 2023 in the annual IPKat Book of the Year Awards! Votes must be made via email before 15th January 2024 as per the instructions below.

 

As always, readers can vote for books in five categories: Patents, Copyright (including related rights and performers’ rights), Trade Marks (including Geographical Indications), Designs and Intellectual Property (any book that covers more than one type of IP). You can check out the previous nominees and winners here.

How to Vote

Each year, as well as receiving many genuine votes, we sadly also receive a lot of spam and repeated voting. Therefore, to attempt discouraging the repeated voting we have seen in previous years, the voting process has been modified. This year you can vote by sending an email which must include your name and a link to verify who you are (to avoid use of multiply email addresses – we have thought of everything!). This can be a link to your work profile, LinkedIn or other social media page. 

Rules of Voting

Only ONE vote per person. 

Person must be verified in email with link 

The book must have been published in 2023

Votes must be made via email [email protected] before 15th January 2024

Template email submission

For ease, readers can copy and paste the following template email:
