First Annual Harrity Diversity Summer Workshop Is A Great Success!
On May 22, 2017, Harrity & Harrity launched its first annual Diversity Summer Workshop. This program brought together undergraduates, law students, and recent graduates to learn about patent law. During this week long program, students attended presentations from Teresa Rea, Former Director of the USPTO, Courtney Holohan, Chief IP Counsel for Accenture, and Allen Lo, Deputy General Counsel of Patents at Google. They also had to opportunity to attend patent-related presentations from our Partners and Associates, and participate in hands-on training in drafting patent applications and responding to office actions.
Chief Diversity Officer, Sandra Maxey, says of the workshop, “This week was an incredible success and we hope to start looking for participants for our 2018 workshop soon to help diverse students with an interest in the patent field gain the skills to succeed as private practice attorneys, patent examiners, and in-house counsel.”
