The Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot 2017

The 15th annual Oxford International Intellectual Property Moot competition was held at the Law Faculty and Pembroke College from 16-18 March 2017.  A total of 24 teams from Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, the United States and the United Kingdom competed in the oral rounds in Oxford.  These teams were short-listed following a highly competitive written submissions round.  

The 2017 problem concerns the case Whispering Gums Winery v Loddon River Vineyards

The Organising Committee are very grateful to the following for making the 2017 moot happen: Allen & Overy, 8 New Square, Herbert Smith Freehills, Powell Gilbert, Cambridge University Press, Edward Elgar Publishing, Hart Publishing and Oxford University Press.  We would also like to thank all our moot judges who volunteered their time to come to Oxford to judge the competition.
