Women in IP Coffee date:
Gender imbalance amongst patent inventors
Tuesday 12 May
12.30 – 1.30 pm, online
Recently a delegation from Business and Professional Women (BPW) Europe visited the European Patent Office (EPO) headquarters in Munich where they were welcomed by Nellie Simon, EPO Vice-President Corporate Services who said:
“Europe cannot remain competitive while leaving half its talent on the sidelines. If we want to solve tomorrow’s challenges, women must be at the centre of innovation.”
Attendees joined us for this coffee date where we discussed gender imbalance amongst patent inventors and what we, as IP professionals, can do to address this imbalance.
Who is it for
As always, the coffee date was open to everyone and aims to connect like-minded IP professionals, including marketing, HR, IT, paralegal, recruitment, accounting, patents, trade marks, and whatever level you are at from trainee to senior leader – *everyone* is welcome to attend.
Cost and registration
This event was free. So are all our resources. That said, we do need money to keep the show on the road, so please consider making a donation directly. For more information, visit the IP Inclusive fundraising page.
