NuDred, Patents, and Justice: Increasing Equity in IP Practice

We are looking forward to welcoming Bruce Boyd and Brigitte Gopou, inventors of the NuDred Hair Sponge, for an in-depth discussion about their patent journey. Please join for a conversation about making legal services more inclusive, how attorneys can better support start-up inventors, and how the legal community can better center inventor voices. We will focus on improving the legal system to equitably assist inventors, including empowering inventors of color, women, and those inventing outside of academic spaces. Lunch will be provided starting at 12:15pm in Barristers Hall.

Please note this program will only be offered in person, please register here.
