In the context of a decision taken by the Committee on Development and Intellectual Property, WIPO is organizing a series of sharing sessions on Women and Intellectual Property.

The sharing sessions aim to:

• Raise awareness about the importance to bridge the existing gender innovation gap and increase participation by women and girls in the innovation ecosystem;
• Promote the results of WIPO’s work in this area; and
• Bring together various stakeholders from around the world to share their experience and practices in addressing the barriers faced by women and girls in accessing the IP system.

The third session, “Closing the Gender Gap in IP – Looking at Good Practices”, will take place virtually on 12 October 20201 from 12.30 to 14.30 CET. Panellists will share good practices in IP service delivery, design and analysis, in order to enhance women’s participation and contribution to the IP ecosystem.

Interpretation will be in English, French and Spanish. Find out more:
