Diversity in innovation is crucial to a corporation or university\u2019s long-term success. The causes for and ways to achieve diversity in innovation are many and vary by region, organization, and other factors. Our panel of experts will discuss the USPTO\u2019s Progress and Potential Report and gender diversity statistics, the USPTO\u2019s new diversity in innovation toolkit, IPO\u2019s Gender Diversity in Innovation Toolkit<\/a>, and the AUTM University and Tech Transfer Toolkit. We will examine these various perspectives and discuss how you can use these tools to positively impact the diversity in innovation culture within your organization.<\/h3>\n
