The
inaugural 2012
ChIPs Women in
IP National
Summit was a
great success;
it was a
sold-out event
that brought
together for the
first time over
250 women from a
wide array of
backgrounds,
including
private and
public
corporations,
academia, law
firms,
judiciary,
governmental
agencies and
institutions,
and public
interest, to
engage in
dialogue on
cutting edge
issues relating
to intellectual
property. We
were very
grateful to have
an impressive
group of
speakers last
year that
included all
four female
Federal Circuit
judges, four
trial court
judges, and
speakers from
numerous
government
agencies
including
Victoria
Espinel, the US
Intellectual
Property
Enforcement
Coordinator.

This
October, we will
again bring
together women
leaders from
across industry,
private practice,
government,
judiciary,
administrative
agencies,
academia, and
more. This year’s
agenda will
include
substantive
panels, fireside
chats and
relationship-building
opportunities with
intellectual
property’s most
influential,
innovative and
strategic leaders
from Silicon
Valley,
Washington, DC,
and beyond, who
have been at the
forefront of
forging new ground
in their fields.
Once again, a
portion of the
program will be
reserved for the
speakers’
stories, which
in the past have
ranged from
sharing with the
audience the
path to how they
achieved their
position and
success, to
discussing their
approach to
watershed
decisions in
their
professional
career and
personal life.
And by popular
demand, we will
also have a
return of last
year’s
professional
photo booth.
