The USPTO's initiative promotes diversity in patent participation, addressing disparities highlighted in its 2019 SUCCESS Act report, where underrepresented groups face significant barriers.
CI2 aims to augment the innovative landscape by bringing together representatives from diverse sectors, intending to invest in a future where innovation reflects society at large.
The alarming statistics indicate deep-rooted issues: just 12.8% of U.S. patent inventors are women, underscoring the urgent need for a more inclusive approach.
By encouraging diverse participation, the CI2 initiative seeks not only to empower marginalized groups but also to unlock the untapped potential of innovation across the country.
