In this episode, Valencia Martin Wallace and I do a critical examination of our innovation ecosystem and how we can make it more diverse and inclusive. Valencia is the Deputy Commissioner for Patents for the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and is the executive lead for the USPTO’s Council for Inclusive Innovation (CI2). Valencia shares data regarding how women and minorities are underrepresented in the innovation ecosystem. You can feel her passion for the topic and for strengthening the innovation and IP community as a whole.

In this episode, Jeff Harty and Valencia Martin Wallace discuss:

  • Valencia’s passion for growth and support in the IP community.
  • The creation of CI2 and why it is necessary.
  • The benefits of having a more diverse innovation ecosystem.
  • Strategies and initiatives to build a more diverse and inclusive innovation ecosystem by encouraging participation demographically, geographically, and economically.

Key Takeaways:

  • While 30 percent of engineers and scientists who are working professionally are women, less than 12 percent have their names on patents.
  • The story does not end when an invention is patented—it takes a community to take the patented invention further into commercialization and usage.
  • By closing the gender gap, $12–$28 trillion can be added to the global economy.
  • Innovators are not created; they are born. It is a matter of helping those innovators get a rich education and giving them opportunities to help not only themselves, but also the nation.

It takes a community to move forward in every field but especially when integrating technology and law.— Valencia Martin Wallace
