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 Director of the Board of the Competition Law and Policy Institute of New Zealand and the NZ Member of both the Association Littéraire et Artisque Internationale (ALAI) France and the Association for the Advancement of Teaching and Research in Intellectual Property (ATRIP) Max Planck Institute, Munich.

Louise is on the Editorial Board of the European Competition Law Review and is 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 is a Visiting Professorial Fellow at the Faculty of Law, University of New South Wales where she has been teaching an intensive LLM course in Trans-Jurisdictional Aspects of Competition Law and Policy for several years.

In addition to her role of General Editor of Law in Business and Government in New Zealand (4th ed, 2006, Palatine Press, Auckland) she has contributed major chapters to that text as well as to Rickett and Austin (eds) International Intellectual Property Law and the Common Law World (Hart Publishing, Oxford, 2000) and MacMillan (ed), New Directions in Copyright Law (Edward Elgar Publishing, UK, 2007). Louise has also published widely in both national and international refereed law journals, presented invited papers at many international law conferences and provided advice to government from time to time in relation to telecommunications law, securities regulation and copyright.

Teaching Areas:

Louise has devised and taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate level courses in law in the areas of:

securities regulation
intellectual property law and policy
international information security law
communications and information technology law
international copyright law
trans-jurisdictional issues in competition law and policy
She has also supervised and examined over forty PhD, LLB(Hons), MComLaw, LLM and MTaxS dissertations and theses for both NZ and overseas universities.

Current Research Projects:

Louise is currently working on issues relating to exploitation and fair use of copyright works particularly in the digital environment. Another area in which she is actively researching (for a book under contract with Hart Publishing, Oxford jointly with Professor Ian Eagles) concerns ways in which courts in NZ, Australia, Europe, Canada and the US approach actual or constructive refusals to license information or communications technology.
