Advancing research on inventor demographics

August 26, 2022
Event web site: USPTO Symposium on advancing research on inventor demographics

Understanding the demographic makeup of inventors who apply for patents is a critical first step for characterizing who participates in the intellectual property ecosystem and for identifying policies that will expand participation. The USPTO is organizing a one-day symposium that will bring together economists, computer scientists, and others to discuss research methods, applied examples, and new ideas.
