IP Moot Court Competition \u2013 Apply by Friday, October 25th<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Professors Douglas and Gugliuzza are planning to advise two student teams this year in the American Intellectual Property Law Association\u2019s Giles Sutherland Rich Moot Court competition (see<\/em>\u00a0https:\/\/www.aipla.org\/resources\/programs-awards\/moot-court-competition<\/a>). This is a prestigious intellectual property law moot court competition. The team will both write briefs and present oral arguments.<\/p>\n

All 2L, 3L, and 4L students are eligible. The competition is typically patent-focused but may relate to copyright or other IP law. You must have taken or be taking Introduction to Intellectual Property to be eligible. Participation in this competition can be a very valuable learning experience, but you must be ready to put in substantial effort into research, writing and oral argument, which requires that you be strongly self-motivated.<\/p>\n

The moot court materials for this competition are released in the Fall semester, and students will work on their briefs in teams of two beginning in the Fall through to January, with oral argument practices through to March. Students selected will receive 3 credits of Guided Research credit in the Spring semester for satisfactory work.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in taking part this year, please send your resume, transcript (official or unofficial), and a brief statement of interest (no more than one page) to Josette Finnegan<\/strong>\u00a0(josette.finnegan@temple.edu<\/a>)as soon as possible, not later than October 25<\/strong>\u00a0at\u00a05pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Important: Microsoft and Apple Upcoming Operating System Updates and Examplify Compatibility<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Microsoft and Apple have announced the upcoming release of new operating systems Windows 11 24H2 and macOS Sequoia, though the official dates are not yet available.<\/p>\n

ExamSoft is currently testing Examplify\u2019s compatibility with these new operating systems. Certifying Examplify\u2019s compatibility can only be completed after final versions of the new operating systems have been released because Microsoft and Apple may make key changes right up until release.<\/p>\n

Exam-takers should not update their devices to the new Windows and Mac operating systems until we announce Examplify\u2019s compatibility with the new versions<\/strong>.\u00a0This includes beta versions that may be available to exam-takers prior to their official release dates.<\/p>\n

If you are concerned that your operating system may automatically update, please check out this article for information on disabling automatic updates<\/a>.<\/p>\n
