Moot Court Competitions

IP Moot Court: There are two moot court competitions that are administered by the IP Program: Giles Rich Patent and Lefkowitz Trademark.

Any student wishing to compete in the Giles Rich Patent competition must participate in the internal competition in mid-January and must have taken the Patent Course by that time. Participation in the competition may be accomplished simply by receiving the problem, completing the brief, and participating in the oral competition on one's own. It may also be accomplished by participating in the Practice Before the Federal Circuit course that is offered in the Fall. (This course also includes the brief-writing and the oral competition.)
