Congratulations to DePaul's Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Team

Moot Court

DePaul IP students, Chuck Koch and Chrystina Zelaskiewicz, placed third in the 2005-2006 Midwest Regional of the Saul Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition. Twenty teams competed in the competition. DePaul argued against the University of Illinois in the first round and against Marquette in the second round. Creighton University won the competition.

The Saul Lefkowitz Intellectual Property Moot Court Competition was established in 1990 by the Brand Names Education Foundation in honor of Saul Lefkowitz, a former Chairman of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. The competition introduces law students to issues arising in United States trademark and unfair competition law. Students participating in the competition have the opportunity to expand their writing and advocacy skills in a mock courtroom.
