About

Overview

Dr Marc Mimler is a Senior Lecturer and joined City Law School in 2021. He is a fully qualified German lawyer after obtaining his undergraduate degree in law from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich and completion of his bar school (Referendariat) at the Higher District Court of Munich. He then obtained a Master’s degree in intellectual property law and a PhD in patent law from Queen Mary’s Intellectual Property Research Institute (QMIPRI) in London. He has been teaching on all fields of intellectual property at various higher education institutions (e.g. Queen Mary, King's College London, UCL, LSE, Warwick and CEIPI). He also used to be founding General Editor of the Queen Mary Journal of Intellectual Property (QMJIP) and currently acts as one of the General Editors of the Interactive Entertainment Law Review (IELR) published by Edward Elgar. In 2021, he took on the position of Editorial Advisor for the bi-monthly Japanese IP journal Patents &Licensing.

Marc’s research interests cover intellectual property law in general with its interfaces with human rights and international trade law, information technology law and competition law. Marc has a particular interest in exceptions to intellectual property rights from a doctrinal and practical perspective and is currently developing a monograph on this issue with Edward Elgar.
