Women in Tech
& IP Law
ChIPs is a nonprofit professional organization that advances and connects women in technology, law and policy. We accelerate innovation through diversity of thought, participation and engagement.
An urgent need for women in IP
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.
