Biography
Prior to joining AUT in 2007, Louise Longdin was an Associate-Professor and the Director of Postgraduate Programmes in the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Auckland. She is the Director of the Board of the Competition Law and Policy Institute of New Zealand and has contributed to the organisation of several annual conferences, run by the Institute since 1989, attended by competition lawyers, economists, academics, regulators and judges from New Zealand, Australia, Europe and North America.
Louise is also a long term Member of the Editorial Board of the European Competition Law Review and the Section Editor for Competition Law and Intellectual Property for the New Zealand Business Law Quarterly. She has been a Visiting Fellow at the Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre, St Peters College and a Visiting Professorial Fellow at the Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales where she has been teaching for several years an intensive LLM course in Trans-Jurisdictional Aspects of Competition Law and Policy.
In addition to being the editor of Law in Business and Government in New Zealand (4th ed, 2006, Palatine Press, Auckland) and contributing a major chapter to Rickett and Austin (eds) International Intellectual Property Law and the Common Law World (Hart Publishing, Oxford, 2000), Louise has published widely in both national and international refereed law journals and in 2000 won the Intellectual Property Society of Australia and New Zealand (IPSANZ) Prize for the most outstanding piece of legal writing in intellectual property law and policy.
As well as giving advice to government from time to time, most notably in the areas of telecommunications law, securities regulation and copyright, Louise has devised and taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses in law relating to:
- securities regulation
- intellectual property law
- electronic commerce and the law
- communications and information technology law
- commercial laws of Europe
- trans-jurisdictional issues in competition law and policy
She has also supervised and examined well over thirty dissertations and theses for the LLB(Hons), MComLaw, LLM and MTaxS programmes at the University of Auckland.
Current Research
Louise is currently working on issues relating to exploitation and fair use of copyright works particularly in the digital environment. Other areas in which she is actively researching are database protection; academic copyright and ways in which courts in NZ, Australia, Europe and the US approach actual or constructive refusals to license information or communications technology when that technology is the gateway to further innovation in the market place.
