We are looking for thoughtful and well-researched papers on intellectual property and public policy scholarship to enhance our discussion. We encourage a broad range of perspectives and topics can be from within the various categories of intellectual property law including patents, trademarks, industrial design, copyright and related issues. Please note that the set topic for the professional category is a case note on an intellectual property related decision issued after January 1, 2017.
There are three categories for entrants:
Law student category (LL.B, J.D., BCL, and LL.L students)
Graduate student category (LL.M, S.J.D. and PhD students)
Professional category (legal and business professionals who have been practicing 7 years or less, including patent agents and trade-mark agents)
