Current revision
Queen Mary Intellectual Property Research Institute (QMIPRI) is a focused research organisation within the Centre for Commercial Law Studies (CCLS) at Queen Mary, University of London. In 2002 it moved from Mile End in the East End of London to larger and specialised facilities at Charterhouse Square, as part of its growing independent identity and a substantial bequest by Herchel Smith.

The institute has an international reputation for its specialist focus on various aspects of Intellectual Property Law, and is host to a number of permanent and visiting academics. It offers postgraduate education by way of Certificate and Masters programmes to train future trademark attorneys and patent attorneys in English and European IP Law, while also contributing individual courses to the broader University of London LLM programme. In addition, it provides commercial training, hosts various lectures and publishes the Queen Mary Studies in Intellectual Property Law & Policy series.
It participates in the European Intellectual Property Institutes Network (EIPIN), which links a number of European IP institutions into a series of yearly rotating training sessions for current students of the institutions.
It is currently led by Professor Michael Blakeney.
