UW law students travel to London to argue licensing terms for standard essential patents before highly regarded international intellectual property judges

Source: . The Hon. Chief Judge Randall Rader, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit presided over a U.S. trial, Dr. Klaus Grabinski, Federal Supreme Court of Germany over a German trial, and the Honourable Mr. Justice Arnold, High Court of England and Wales over a UK trial. The Judges were then joined by Dr. Gabriella Muscolo, Rome IP Court and Lord Hoffmann, Honorary Professor, Queen Mary University of London for an international appeal. James Barker '14 who argued before the appeals court said, “All of the people were incredible - Judges, Faculty and Classmates. We got to argue a mock trial directly to the top IP judges in the world! I never expected that I'd get to do that as a student.”

The mock trials were a highlight for the students and their European partner school colleagues after a week of comparative law lectures and a license negotiation. Janice Goh '13 who argued against James said, "I can't think of a better way to learn international and comparative IP law than to be surrounded by faculty, students, attorneys, and judges from different countries. The curriculum allowed us to contextualize theory with practice through our participation in contract negotiation, mock trial, and appellate advocacy. Not to mention, I made a lot of good friends through the program."
