NUS Law triumphed in the 4th INTA Asia-Pacific Moot Court Competition!

L to R: Richmond Xiao ’22, Song Yihang ’22, Chen Rong ’21, Benjamin Ho ’21

The competition challenges law students with important issues arising in trademark and unfair competition law in the region and fosters a healthy spirit of competition and camaraderie among participating teams. This year due to the COVID-19 situation, the oral rounds were cancelled and the competition was judged solely based on the submitted briefs. Additionally, this year’s iteration of the INTA Asia-Pacific Moot Competition featured an additional stipulation – for teams to work independently, with no external help from professors or alumni. Nonetheless, NUS Law emerged victorious amidst the formidable competition, and have clinched the first and second place brief!
