The Harold G. Fox Moot is intended to promote the furtherance of education in the intellectual property field, and to provide participants with the opportunity to interact with jurists of the Supreme, Ontario, and Federal Courts and experienced practitioners of intellectual property law. It is named in honour of the late Harold G. Fox, one of Canada’s leading intellectual property scholars and advocates.
The Fox Moot is sponsored by DLA Piper (Canada) LLP and administered by a committee of judges and practitioners (the Fox Moot Committee) and Elysia Karabegovic (the Fox Moot Administrator).
