Alexander Lucas iv NOTTINGHAM LAW JOURNAL VOL. 27(1) 2018 EDITORIAL I am delighted to introduce Volume 27(1) of the Nottingham Law Journal, an independ- ent peer- reviewed and indexed academic journal that has published annually for over 40 years, one of the oldest law journals in the United Kingdom. The journal embraces critical legal thinking and underpins Nottingham Law School’s proud history of excel- lence in legal education, scholarship and research. This edition features a series of thematically linked articles in support of intellectual property law (IP) education and research. The contributions emanate from the 10th Anniversary European Intellectual Property Teachers Network (EIPTN) Conference, beautifully hosted by Jr. Dr. Ulrike Wennersten at the vibrant School of Economics, Lund University in Sweden on 29–30 June 2017 which I had the pleasure of co- convening and chairing. We present articles by the joint winners of the Routledge Best Presentation Prize. There is also a very special contribution from world- renowned IP educator Professor Emerita Ruth Soetendorp. Newer to the IP law field is our own PhD candidate Mobeen Shah and her review of Maria Tzanou’s monograph, The Fundamental Right to Data Protection: Normative Value in the Context of Counter- Terrorism Surveillance. Congratulations to Nottingham Law School LLB student Alexander Lucas, who won the Student Essay Prize on a copyright law topic. The theme of the 2018 World Intellectual Property Day is ‘Powering change: Women in innovation and creativity’ and I am proud to publish work by so many female authors in this edition. In addition, this volume features a broader selection of other topical articles, case notes, critical commentary addressing issues of contemporary legal significance and several book reviews. Professor Mark Pawlowski and James Brown focus on tangible property in their piece ‘The Termination of Real Property Interests by Frustration under English Law’. Independent researcher Philip Morris considers reforms to consti- tutional practices and British Crown Dependencies. Gordon Chung demystifies estoppel by negligence, an underdeveloped concept in commercial law. We have a book review of Dr Vasileios Adamidis’ research monograph, Character Evidence in the Courts of Classical Athens which has been nominated for two prizes, the SLS Peter Birks Prize for Outstanding Legal Scholarship and the International Sociological Association Research Committee on the Sociology of Law (ISA RCSL) Podgòorecki Prize. This year we will also produce volume 27(2) arising from the School’s high profile Centre for Legal Education’s conferences held in 2015 and 2017. This will comprise a special legal education edition jointly edited by my colleagues Professor Jane Ching and Pamela Henderson. Finally, since joining the editorial team eight years ago in 2010 as Book Review Editor, this is my last edition as Editor. Dr Helen Hall will take over for the rest of 2018 and beyond. My sincere gratitude to all the contributors, reviewers, subscribers and readers of the Nottingham Law Journal. Particular thanks to my small but able team of editors and finally, thanks to our administrative assistant Kerri Gilbert. DR JANICE DENONCOURT v NOTTINGHAM LAW JOURNAL VOL. 27(1) 2018 ARTICLES The address for submission of articles is given at the beginning of this issue. 10thAnniversary European Intellectual Property Teachers Network (EIPTN) Conference 2017 The EIPTN brings together IP educators in higher education from across Europe to exchange ideas on best practice and innovation supported by our longstanding spon- sors, the European Union Intellectual Property Office and the European Patent Office. Over 30 delegates attended from 20 countries to discuss and debate the future of IP law education and the needs of the twenty- first century IP law student. We learned from IP education thought leaders and researchers at the forefront of new approaches to IP education in the EU. Since the 1980s when I was a student in the first IP law elective at the University of Western Australia, the role of IP rights in driving the global and digital economy has gained momentum. The economic value of IP rights is often underestimated. Beyond giving immeasurable pleasure and enhancing our daily quality of life (e.g. the personal computer, mobile phone, life- saving medicines and Netflix), IP rights protect
