BMS, Intel join WIPRâs Diversity Champions launch
29-01-2021
The question of how to effectively promote diversity and inclusion (D&I) throughout the IP sector continues to loom large. Despite many firms pledging to tackle systemic barriers such as racism and implicit bias, there are still relatively low numbers of women in leadership positions in IP, and even fewer people of colour.
According to a 2020 report by the Law Society, only 8% of partners in the UK’s top 50 firms come from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) backgrounds, representing a rise of just 1% since 2014.
This year,
WIPR has launched its Diversity Champions survey to celebrate IP professionals who have been outstanding in their efforts to promote the D&I agenda. The finalised list will be drawn from the survey results and will feature in a special supplement later this year.
