Viktor Makovii, Head of the Department of Civil Law Disciplines, Ph.D. in Law and Professor, noted: «This is the first time this competition has been held. However, the high quality of the entries and the students’ genuine interest in current issues of intellectual property law encourage us to make this initiative a tradition».
In addition to the official program, an educational tour was organized for the guests.
