About

Professor Nikolaos (Nick) Papageorgiadis joined the University of Liverpool in 2014 and has held a Chair in International Business since 2020.

His research centers on the strength of national patent and IP enforcement, as well as firm-level IP enforcement strategies across the globe, examining their impact on international business phenomena, firms' strategic decisions, and managerial practices. Nick's work is widely published in leading international academic journals. Among his notable contributions is the "Patent Enforcement Index 1998-2017," which has had a documented impact on the practices of in-house patent managers (e.g., guiding patent filing decisions), external patent attorneys (e.g., educating clients on patent enforcement risks), and policymakers (e.g., supporting evidence-based evaluations of national patent enforcement strength) across 19 countries.

Nick is an Associate Editor of the journal Industry and Innovation and serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of World Business and Journal of International Business Policy. He is also a recipient of multiple Teaching Innovation and Excellence Awards for his engaging, technology-enhanced teaching methods in international business, business strategy, and strategic IP management, delivered to diverse academic and practitioner audiences.
