Equity is not just a current trend. It is a commitment to empowerment for all innovators that has far-reaching effects for society as a whole. The USPTO’s new inclusive innovation web resource details the importance of this commitment.

This program builds on the success of the USPTO’s Patent Pro Bono Program, which has matched more than 3,400 under-resourced inventors and small businesses with volunteer patent practitioners to file over 1,800 patent applications. This has totaled more than 84,000 hours of free legal help.
