Intellectual Property, Gender, and Diversity
Human innovation and creativity are the engines of progress. Since the beginning of time, innovators and creators from all walks of life have transformed our world through the power of their imagination and ingenuity. However, some groups remain severely under-represented in many areas of intellectual property (IP) use. Their innovative potential is underutilized at a time when we need the widest possible range of talents to solve the pressing problems facing humanity.
Innovation by women are changing the world. However, women remain underrepresented in international patenting.
