Broad racial disparities exist in the patent sphere: inventors and patent attorneys are disproportionately white and male. To ensure technology's universal effectiveness, it is crucial to foster greater diversity at every stage of technological development.
This extends from encouraging a diverse range of individuals to innovate, to the inclusion of inventors from various backgrounds, and the involvement of lawyers specializing in patent protection throughout the implementation of intellectual property (IP). Recognizing the multifaceted impact on both the practical use of technology and its economic ramifications across communities, this panel will feature insights from patent lawyers, inventors, and technology enthusiasts who hope to ensure that future innovations improve the lives of all rather than a select few.
