Two IPs In A Pod

Author: CIPA

Brilliant inventions, fresh product designs, iconic brand names and artistic creativity are not only the building blocks of successful business - they deliver a better world for us all. But these valuable forms of intellectual property must be protected in order to flourish. We are the Chartered Institute of Patent Attorneys - the UK's largest intellectual property organisation. Our hosts Lee Davies and Gwilym Roberts chat with entrepreneurs, creatives, patent attorneys and the occasional judge about how patents, trade marks, designs and copyright can improve our lives and solve problems for humanity.

Championing Diversity: IP Inclusive's 10-Year Journey
Tuesday, 30 September, 2025

Send us a textA decade of transforming the intellectual property landscape through inclusion, allyship, and community building, that's the remarkable journey of IP Inclusive we explore in this episode with founder Andrea Brewster.What makes IP Inclusive unique is its ground-up development, responding to the genuine needs of professionals rather than imposing initiatives from above. This approach has fostered the creation of thriving communities including Women in IP, IP Out for LGBTQ+ professionals, IP and Me for those from minority ethnic backgrounds, IP Ability supporting disabled professionals and carers, and IP Futures for early-career individuals. Each community evolved naturally and embraces allies, a concept that's been vital for engaging those in positions of influence.IP Inclusive fundraising: https://ipinclusive.org.uk/ip-inclusive-fundraising/IP Inclusive six communities: (https://ipinclusive.org.uk/community/)Their flagship event looking at how approaches to EDI are changing and how they can keep up the momentum: "The Case for EDI: Why we need to continue" on 4th November, see https://ipinclusive.org.uk/events/the-case-for-edi-why-we-need-to-continue/.
