On March 9, 2023, KAIPO sponsored coffee, tea and water breaks during the three-day event “Meeting on Mentoring, Affinity Groups and the Collection of Demographic Data.” The Office of International Patent Cooperation hosts nearly 50 delegates from global intellectual property offices (IPOs) both in person and online for a private, three-day workshop on the priority topics of mentorship, voluntary employee organizations and demographic data. The event aligns with the 2023 International Women’s Day theme, “DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality” and as such, topics will address the current and future-state of underrepresentation among women within the IP ecosystem.
This was an opportunity for KAIPO to introduce us to the delegates, answer questions and network.
