We are delighted to announce that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s Intellectual Property Moot Team will be competing in the oral rounds of the which will take place, virtually, between 7Ìýand 20ÌýMarch.

The Oxford Moot is arguably the most prestigious intellectual property law mooting competition attracting applications from many distinguished law schools from around the world. Last year, the organisers took the difficult decision to cancel the oral rounds. As a result, this year's competition received a record number of entries, combining those which had already been accepted into the oral rounds in 2020, along with fresh entries for 2021. These have been whittled down to 32 teams, selected based upon the quality of their written submissions.

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê team members, Stephen Chow, Alix Anciaux and Stephanie Chan, have all studied intellectual property law at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Laws. Stephen and Alix, original members of 2020 Moot team, will graduate soon with LLM degrees. They are joined this year by Stephanie Chan, who is currently studying the LLB at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Laws. The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê team - coached by Professor Sir Robin Jacob, Sir Hugh Laddie Chair of Intellectual Property Law at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Faculty of Laws, and Alexandra Mezulanik, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê IBIL Research Assistant - is one of only eight teams from UK universities to make it through to the final oral rounds.

We wish the team the very best of luck!Ìý
