Fostering diversity in patent law
Diversity of thought, background, and perspective drives innovation, productivity and stronger collaboration. Without rich diversity, it is impossible to harness the full potential of the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Not only do these fields require diverse inventors, but diverse perspectives that allows us to solve new problems and protect innovation as patent attorneys and litigators.
