The moot drew participants from law schools across Canada, and was held at the Federal Court in Toronto. Respected jurists from the Supreme Court of Canada, the Federal Courts, the Ontario Court of Appeal and the Ontario Superior Court, as well as lawyers from the IP bar, graciously volunteered their time as panelists.
