ChIPs is a nonprofit professional organization that advances & connects women in technology, law and policy. We accelerate innovation through diversity of thought, participation and engagement.
IP-intensive industries account for 47 million U.S. jobs and 41% of total U.S. GDP — 7.1 trillion. And while female participation in the patent process is on the rise, the gender gap is on track to persist for decades to come.
