On March 26th, the Pacific Northwest Chapter of ChIPs hosted a panel discussion entitled “Women in Technology & Law Roundtable”.

ChIPsters from around the Pacific Northwest gathered at the Microsoft Campus to take in pearls of wisdom from our panel of seasoned IP veterans on topics ranging from the biggest operational challenges with GDPR compliance, setting up an Open Source Compliance Program, managing trade secrets, career mentorship and more!

The evening was capped off with a networking happy hour that celebrated not only our strong group of attorneys, but also RBG’s 86th birthday! A special thank you goes out to our panelists and moderator, whose time and knowledge contributed to what proved to be an engaging and entertaining event.
