Oxford I.P. Moot Team 2016
Once again, the Windsor Law student IP Moot team has earned a spot in the highly competitive 2016 Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot competition.
The Oxford Intellectual Property Research Centre will host the 14th Annual Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot on March 17th – 19th, 2016 at Pembroke College. The Windsor Law Team members for 2016 are Amanda Stevens (Dual JD2), Vivian Ntiri (Dual JD2) and Rebecca Schild (JD3) and their coach is Professor Pascale Chapdelaine.
This year’s moot had a record number of forty-eight entrants. Written submissions were received from sixteen countries around the world, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Vietnam, the United States, and throughout the United Kingdom. Twenty-four of these teams have been invited to participate in the oral phase of the competition.
This year’s moot problem revolves around the issue of “ambush marketing” and teams will be arguing in front of the Supreme Court of Erewhon, the apex court of a fictional jurisdiction. All teams will be required to participate in four preliminary rounds over two days where they will make submissions as both the Appellant and Respondents. Eight teams will progress to the knock-out rounds.
Our students will be in excellent company. To see the list of finalists, click here.
