Join us for a virtual event about patent law
Learn why Intellectual Property (IP) law is so important to business and society. Discover some of the ways IP law differs across industries and hear advice from experts on what resources are available for students who are interested in pursuing a career in the field of IP law.
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.
Learn about:
- The connection between a STEM undergraduate degree and patent law from attorneys at leading companies.
- Scholarship opportunities for students interested in patent and IP law.
- Why patents are important to business and the economy.
