Women, Patents and Attorneys<\/p>\n

“Happy Women’s Day.<\/p>\n

We Wish all Women a Very Happy, Inventive and Progressive Year.”<\/p>\n

Has patents always been a men’s game?<\/p>\n

One study reports that less than twenty percent of patents list women inventors in the US. We mined patent data through very crude methods and arrived at the following, interesting results at the Indian Patent Office.<\/p>\n

Women and Patents<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A search with the term “Women” in the title section of published patent database yielded fifty results. On a quick perusal, we observed that most of the patents relate to pregnancy, security and women empowerment. Here are some examples of what we found:<\/p>\n

1. Title: WOMEN SELF DEFENCE WRIST BAND
\nApplication no: 1529\/DEL\/2015<\/p>\n

2. Title: NUTRITIONAL COMPOSITION FOR PREGNANT WOMEN WITH A BENEFICIAL GLUCOSE AND INSULIN PROFILE
\nApplication no: 3236\/DELNP\/2015<\/p>\n

3. Title: A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM AND METHOD.FOR PROVIDING EMPOWERMENT SERVICES TO THE WOMEN
\nApplication no: 5129\/CHE\/2014<\/p>\n

It is interesting to note that most women empowerment related patents have been filed by men.<\/p>\n

Women Patent Attorneys<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Indian Patent Office’s website lists 1887 patent agents among which over 600 are women. In line with educational preferences, most women patent attorneys\/agents in India work in the Biosciences, Electronics and Information Technology fields. Very few women patent agents specialize in manufacturing, mechanical, automotive and other traditional fields.<\/p>\n
