We are also delighted to partner with the USIPA (US IP Alliance) and the GLIPA (Global IP Alliance), envisioning a world where IP empowers all people to improve their lives and create a more prosperous and sustainable future. 

These networks of networks foster Intellectual Property awareness, education, collaboration, and inclusivity to enrich the lives of all people worldwide.

We are excited to partner with ADAPT (Advancing Diversity Across Patent Teams), an initiative founded in December 2021 by a community of friends from various companies dedicated to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion within the IP profession.

By featuring sessions that highlight the importance of DEI, such as the ADAPT sessions on changing the patent profession and career growth, the conference provides a platform for sharing data, discussing strategies, and fostering a more inclusive and diverse IP community.

We invite you to join our community, engage with our platform, and contribute to the ongoing efforts to make the IP profession more equitable and inclusive.

Built upon winning collaborations
