This year’s global theme is “Women in IP: Accelerating Innovation and Creativity”. Under Secretary Vidal has worked throughout her tenure to increase the participation of women and underrepresented communities in the IP ecosystem through the Empowering Women's Entrepreneurship (WE) initiative. To increase the general public’s awareness about the importance and value of IP, the USPTO decided on the theme of “The Value of Her IP” which will feature prominent women with IP (creators, entrepreneurs, designers and inventors) and highlight common factors relatable to the general public that went into that woman creating and commercializing their IP. Check social media to see the featured innovators.
