ChIPs is celebrating 20 years of Impact in 2025. Read our Annual Report with a special look back on the past two decades.

Despite progress, women continue to represent a small fraction of those pursuing careers in technology and intellectual property law and policy. While gains by women have been made in participation, pay and promotions that unlock potential, advance careers and unleash innovation, few are found in top roles and barriers to parity persist.

This guide offers institutional and individual tools you can make to advance women in your workplace.

Men play a defining role as allies in furthering equity in the workplace. In a society where women face conscious, unconscious and systemic bias in recruiting, hiring, development and advancement, men’s words and actions can either foster or prevent merit-based opportunities, performance measures, advancement and pay. While men’s awareness and acknowledgment of bias has grown, active allyship and actions to advance gender parity haven’t followed at the same pace. This guide provides tools to accelerate that pace.

ChIPs has released a new research report highlighting the experiences of its members and proposing solutions to advancing and retaining women in the legal profession.

The report — Inclusion and Innovation: Retaining and Advancing Women in Tech, Law and Policy, features results of a survey conducted last fall with the University of California Berkeley School of Law.
