TechnoLAWgy Collective Research Group

This group brings together researchers with a shared interest in the rapidly evolving interdisciplinary landscape of Intellectual Property, Information Technology, and Media Law. This group offers a unique platform for researchers to collaborate, innovate, and address the legal challenges of the digital age. 

The UEA Law School is home to one of the largest concentrations of researchers specialising in Media, IT and IP law in the UK. Research in this rapidly evolving field spans the human rights and privacy dimensions of internet law, patents, and unfair competition, with active collaboration across universities and with agencies including the Intellectual Property Office (IPO). The TechnoLawgy Collective is an interdisciplinary research group bringing together scholars from Law, Economics, Norwich Business School, Political Science, and the Centre for Competition Policy. The Collective addresses emerging questions in IP, AI, and technology law through a multi-disciplinary lens, drawing on expertise in competition, economics, business, computer science, and the creative industries. We engage with policy through responses to contemporary public consultation responses and by producing research on topical legal and regulatory developments. The Collective maintains established links and collaborations with the British and Irish Education and Technology Association (BILETA), CREATe, the Intellectual Property Office, and the 4iP Council, and welcomes engagement from colleagues across all schools and disciplines.
