For the third year in a row, Cardozo’s Intellectual Property Law Society (IPLS) was chosen as the New York City host of the World Intellectual Property Organization’s World IP Day on April 26 with the 2018 theme “Powering Change: Women in Innovation and Creativity.” IPLS proudly introduced
the Cardozo/Google Project for Patent Diversity, a project funded by a $200,000 grant from Google. The goal of the project is to increase the number of U.S. patents issued to women and U.S.-born members of minority groups. Professor Jeanne C. Curtis joined Cardozo’s nationally ranked IP program this year to spearhead the effort. At World IP Day, Curtis was joined by a panel of experts to discuss the Project as well as other initiatives under way across law, business and policy that are directed toward achieving parity in innovation and creativity; the social and economic benefits of achieving parity; and the ways each and every one of us on a daily basis can help affect change. See the article about Curtis and the Cardozo/Google Project for Patent Diversity on page 35.
