Through this course, students compete in a national IP transactional lawyering competition, the IP LawMeet, which is held during the late winter, during which students intensively prepare for and conduct "deal" negotiations in at least two preliminary rounds (more rounds if the team advances) per marked-up term sheets exchanged between the teams in advance of the competition. The competition is held in late February in Philadelphia. Students receive the case statement in December, and normally return from winter break one week early to begin the intensive deal analysis, brainstorming, client question drafting, term sheet drafting, responsive markup drafting, and negotiation mooting necessary to prepare for the meet in February.



Each round at the meet, the term sheets, and written client questions will be judged by two experts in practice, and UNH Law's team will compete with teams from schools throughout the country. In advance of the actual IP LawMeet, the students will compete in an individual capacity in a MiniMeet conducted entirely online, which will involve the viewing of a client video and the upload of a student client counseling response on an intellectual property transaction. Uploaded MiniMeet submissions will compete at both a peer level and an expert level.
