Diversity, Women's, and Young Lawyers and Agents Committees Host "From Data to Action: Demystifying Meritocracy" Webinar - September 30, 2025

On September 30, 2025, the Diversity Committee, Women’s Committee, and Young Lawyers & Agents Committee of the PTAB Bar Association, in conjunction with ChIPs, co-hosted a webinar titled "From Data to Action: Demystifying Meritocracy." The panel debunked the myths around meritocracy and offered insights from cutting-edge research, conducted specifically to address the drivers and outcomes of cases within the IP ecosystem. Attendees walked away with useful tools to combat the anti-DEI narrative and learned from real-life examples from leading PTAB attorneys.  DEI/Diversity CLE credit was available for several jurisdictions requiring the credit.  Logged-in members of the PTAB Bar Association can access the slides from the presentation at the following members-only link: Diversity, Women's, and Young Lawyers and Agents Committees, From Data to Action: Demystifying Meritocracy (September 30, 2025).
