Many women still struggle to advance in IP and find it necessary to leave an organisation to start their own firm to attain a leadership position, a key finding from a new report by the International Trademark Association (INTA) has confirmed.
The association unveiled its “Women in Leadership” report, including a “best practices toolkit”, yesterday, February 23.
The report emerged from an INTA project called The Women’s LeadershIP Initiative, aimed at helping organisations address the underrepresentation of women in IP.
Based on data collected from INTA workshops that included 135 women in IP across the Asia-Pacific, Europe, Latin America, and North America regions, the report outlines key findings and recommends strategies that can foster career development opportunities for women.
