In the first in a new podcast series celebrating the tenth anniversary of IP Inclusive, we look back at the network’s origins and discuss its mission


Managing IP is proud to publish the first in a series of 10 podcasts celebrating the tenth anniversary of UK-based diversity network IP Inclusive.

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

In episode one, we delve into the mission of IP Inclusive, from its origins to where it finds itself today.

We hear from Andrea Brewster and Anne Burgato from the IP Inclusive executive team, and Jane Wainwright, a former patent attorney, now leadership coach, and long-time supporter of IP Inclusive.

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 podcasts are also available on the IP Inclusive YouTube channel.
