Lefkowitz Trademark Moot Court Competition

The Lefkowitz Moot Court Competition was established in 1990 by the Brand Names Education Foundation in honor of Saul Lefkowitz, a Chairman of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Now sponsored by the International Trademark Association, the Competition is an annual event consisting of Regional Competitions in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, and San Francisco, and a National Competition in Washington, D.C., USA.

During the 2009-2010 academic year, Jason Koransky and Nicole Renchen won Second Best Brief in the Midwest Region and Fourth Best Brief in the Nation. The objective of the competition is to introduce law students to important issues arising in United States trademark and unfair competition law. Law students who participate in the competition have the opportunity to develop their brief writing and oral advocacy skills in a mock courtroom setting.
