Prior to his appointment to the University of Melbourne in November 2000, Sam was the Sir Keith Aickin Professor of Commercial Law at Monash University (1991 to 2000). Before this, he had held academic positions at the University of Melbourne (1977 to 1991) and in the Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary & Westfield College, London (1984-1986). Most recently, he has been a Herbert Smith Visitor in the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge (August to November 2010) and was Yong Shook Lin Visiting Professor in IP Law at the National University of Singapore (February-March 2011). He will be a visiting professor at the Wuhan Law School in China in October and November 2012.
Sam has written, taught and advised widely in all areas of intellectual property law (copyright and designs, patents, trade marks and unfair competition, and breach of confidence), conflicts of law, trade practices and corporate law. He has also held various professional as well as governmental appointments in the intellectual property area, including membership of the Commonwealth Copyright Tribunal and as a consultant to the Australian Law Reform Commission. He is currently a panel member of the World Intellectual Property Organisation’s dispute resolution body in relation to domain names and was a member of the Victorian Law Reform Commission from 2001 to 2010. Between 2000 and 2012, he also practised part-time at the Victorian Bar and was counsel or co-counsel in a number of leading Australian IP cases, both at first instance and on appeal.
In addition to co-authorship of two student casebooks (the first on conflict of laws and the second on intellectual property, now in its fifth edition), and sole authorship of over 50 journal articles, 20 book chapters, 4 commissioned reports, and numerous conference papers, Sam’s principal published works include the following:
