The Leaky Pipeline: Gender Inequality in Innovation and IP

Despite recent efforts to promote gender equality in IP, and more broadly in STEM industries, the number of female inventors named on patents lags far behind. What is being done to address this issue? How are patent offices promoting female innovation? And does the future look brighter?

Join Emily Collins, VP of San Francisco Liaison Office at Kilburn and Strode to hear her insights.

This session was complimentary, so sign up now to access the recording!

WHY JOIN THE PROGRAMME?

WIPR Patents Live membership runs for a full 12 months, and offers you a wide range of essential weekly live online content, access to whitepapers and the opportunity to take part in interactive industry surveys.

It also includes unlimited places at the weekly open roundtable discussion groups – enabling you to join live discussions with up to 12 peers. This is a great networking opportunity and a forum in which you can share your expertise, as well as voice your challenges and find solutions – as you would at a traditional conference.

NETWORKING AND CONTACT BUILDING

WIPR Patents Live members are able to contact each other on the online platform, to share best practice, discuss pressing issues and make invaluable new industry contacts.

The programme is designed to provide you not only with vital information, but also the invaluable opportunity to interact informally online—in small group masterclasses, and in gatherings of the whole membership. Throughout the year, members will seek to determine solutions to ever-persistent as well as current challenges.
