 Join us at our next Patent Pro Bono Program: Pathways to inclusive innovation event on October 11 from 12:30-5:30 p.m. ET, virtually or in person at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia. Welcome and opening remarks for this event will be provided by Derrick Brent, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director of the USPTO.
"The USPTO is working to strengthen our innovation economy by making it more inclusive and equitable for all," said Deputy Director Brent. "This event will spotlight tools and support for under-resourced entrepreneurs and innovators to help bring their ideas to impact in their communities and the marketplace."

- Succeeding in business
- Identifying and protecting IP
- Securing options for funding
- Expanding business networks
In-person attendees will also have the opportunity to meet with USPTO experts and learn about resources specific to their needs. A detailed agenda with speakers is listed on our event page.
