Under the patronage of the Ministry of Economy and Tourism, Gulf BPG sponsored this year’s IP Moot Court Project, organized by Saint Joseph University (USJ) Dubai through its Engagement and Outreach Committee, and co-sponsored by OBWB, a valued member of Gulf BPG.
This initiative offers high school students a practical courtroom experience, allowing them to assume roles such as lawyers, judges, and parties, while developing essential skills in critical thinking, argumentation, and public speaking.
The first session took place at the School of Modern Skills, where the USJ – Dubai team and the Gulf BPG team focused on brand protection and consumer rights, helping students understand the vital role of intellectual property in fostering innovation and creativity.
The session featured the participation of Ms. Sara Dahmani, Intellectual Property Consultant at the French Embassy. It was led by USJ Law students with the support of Gulf BPG board members, including Motasem AG, General Manager, Middle East Region IP Practice & Global Manager, Trademark Practice at Osha BWB IP, and Hamad Abdallah, Senior Legal Consultant, Head of Dispute Resolution – ME at Rouse & Co. International.
Together, the project aims to inspire youth, promote legal awareness, and cultivate a generation that values and protects intellectual property.
