About the Institute
The Institute of Brand and Innovation Law (IBIL), at UCL’s Law Faculty, was established
to reflect UCL’s strategy of expanding its activity in the field of intellectual property
law. IBIL is headed by Professor Sir Hugh Laddie QC, Chair of IP, formerly judge at the
High Court. His breadth of experience and knowledge not only of IP law but also of
the IP community in Europe, Asia and the US, make him an invaluable asset not only
for the Institute but also for UCL as a whole.
IBIL is driven by a strong desire to build bridges between academics, practitioners,
industry, the judiciary, policy makers and the student community worldwide. IBIL aims
to facilitate opportunities for dialogue through hosting events which combine critical
analysis with practical relevance and through producing research of the highest standards of scholarly rigour and real-world significance.
IBIL is proud to be part of a multi-faculty university with a global reputation for excellence. It is keen to establish links with other departments, including those of life
sciences and engineering, and institutes across UCL in order to share interests, foster
synergies and contribute to common objectives.

Speakers Biographies
Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury, House of Lords, became a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary
on 11 January 2007. His rise to the Court of Appeal and then to the House of Lords is
one of the quickest in recent times. Lord Neuberger was called to the Bar at Lincoln’s Inn
in 1974, where he became a bencher in 1993. He became a Queen’s Counsel in 1987.
He was a Recorder from 1990 to 1996, when he was appointed a High Court Judge in
the Chancery Division. In 2001, he was made Supervisory Chancery Judge of Midland,
Wales and Chester, and of the Western Circuits, a post he held until 2004, when he was
promoted to become a Lord Justice of Appeal and became a member of the Privy Council.
Since 1997, he has been Chairman of the Advisory Committee on Spoliation of Art during
the Holocaust.
Geoffrey Hobbs QC was called to the Bar in 1977, and is a practising barrister
at One Essex Court Chambers. He was appointed a Queen’s Counsel in 1991. He
specialises in litigation and advisory work in the area of intellectual property and
related aspects of competition law. He sits (since 1996) as ‘Appointed Person’ to
hear and determine appeals from the Registrar of Trade Marks under section 76
of the Trade Marks Act 1994. Geoffrey has been authorised to sit as a Deputy
High Court Judge since March 2001.
Robin Stout, Head of EU Policy, the UK Intellectual Property Office, advising the government on EU aspects of intellectual property policy. He joined the UK Intellectual Property
Office in 2001, as a patent examiner, after reading Physics at the University of Nottingham, specialising in computer-implemented inventions. For the last three years he has
worked for the IPO’s Policy Directorate on EU aspects of a range of intellectual property
policy issues, including database rights, registered designs, software patents, the London
Agreement on patent translations, the Lisbon Treaty, and European Court of Justice cases.
He has been involved with the current push for a European patent court and Community patent since the Commission’s patent strategy consultation in 2006, and is a regular
member of the UK delegation to the EU Council working groups which meet to discuss
the proposals currently on the table.
The Rt. Hon. Lord Justice Jacob is in charge of the Court of Appeal intellectual property

at UCL Laws. After reading Natural Sciences at Cambridge, Sir Robin then read for the Bar
and an LLB from the LSE. He practiced at the Intellectual Property Bar from 1967. From
1976 to 1981 he was the Junior Counsel for the Comptroller of Patents and for Government departments in intellectual property. He was made a Queen’s Counsel in 1981 and
launch - 3rd june 2008
his practice took him abroad often (Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe, USA, Australia). His
practice at the Bar involved working with experts in many fields – scientists or engineers
concerned with the technology of a particular patent case, accountants concerned with
valuation of patents and so on. He was appointed to the Bench in 1993. From 1997 to
2001 he was Supervising Chancery Judge for Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff. He was
appointed a Lord Justice of Appeal in October 2003. He was Treasurer of Gray’s Inn in
2007. He has written extensively on all forms of intellectual property. He is President of the
Intellectual Property Institute, Hon President of the UK branch of the Licensing Executive

Market at the European Commission. In 2005 Tilman coordinated the recommendation on
collective management of online rights in musical works (10/2005, OJ L 276, 21/10/2005)
and the evaluation report on the 1996 ‘Database Directive’ (12/2005); in 2006 he coordinated an impact study on the administration of private copying levies in Europe. In
