- Vanessa Park-Thompson of the University of Toronto was the recipient of the inaugural Dimock Stratton LLP Award, which was given to the best mooter in a non-graduating year. Vanessa and a team-mate will be invited to represent their law school in the 2012 Oxford International IP Moot in Oxford, England.
The Harold G. Fox Moot was co-founded by the University of Windsor and Dimock Stratton LLP, title sponsor. Named in honour of one of Canada's leading intellectual property scholars, the moot promotes education in the intellectual property field. The moot drew participants from law schools across Canada, and was held at the Federal Court in Toronto. Respected jurists from the Federal Courts, the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Ontario Superior Court, and the Quebec Court of Appeal, as well as lawyers from the IP bar, graciously volunteered their time as panelists.
Dimock Stratton would also like to thank the sponsors as well as the volunteers and organizers of the moot for their hard work in making the third year a resounding success.
