Managing IP will help mark IP Inclusive’s 10th anniversary by co-hosting a new podcast series covering diversity, equity, and inclusion within the IP profession

Managing IP will help honour the 10th anniversary of the diversity network, IP Inclusive, by co-hosting a series of podcasts covering diversity, equity, and inclusion in the intellectual property community.

The podcasts, due to be published over the coming weeks and months, will be split into ten parts and feature special guests from the IP profession.

Topics will include the mission of IP Inclusive and how far it has come, the state of DEI within the IP sector, a focus on LGBTQiA+ experiences, the gender gap in the IP profession, and tips and guidance for young professionals.

The podcasts will be hosted by Managing IP editor Max Walters and Jodie Bates, a member of the IP Inclusive advisory board and an IT trainer at patent and trademark attorney firm Boult Wade Tennant.

IP Inclusive was set up in 2015 to promote and improve DEI and wellbeing throughout the UK’s IP profession.

It aims to ensure that the UK’s IP profession is open and welcoming to all those with the necessary aptitude, regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, religion, physical and cognitive ability, wealth, and background.

The first podcast, covering the mission of IP Inclusive from its origins to where it finds itself today, will be published in September.
