NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / May 31, 2023 / We believe that the United States patent system should reflect the diversity of this country, and if we can diversify who is inventing and patenting, we can create more jobs, boost the U.S. economy, close wage and wealth gaps and ensure the U.S. remains a global leader in innovation. We are actively working within our Company and externally to create more equitable opportunities for women and people of color in innovation.
馬薩諸塞州北安普敦/Accesswire/2023 年 5 月 31 日/ 我們認爲，美國的專利制度應該反映這個國家的多樣性，如果我們能夠實現發明和專利的多元化，我們就能創造更多就業機會，提振美國經濟，縮小工資和財富差距，確保美國仍然是創新領域的全球領導者。我們正在公司內部和外部積極努力，在創新領域爲女性和有色人種創造更公平的機會。
We are a founding partner of Invent Together, a campaign supported by organizations, universities, companies and other stakeholders that are dedicated to understanding the gender, race, income and other diversity gaps in invention and patenting and supporting public policy and private efforts to close them. With Invent Together, we are advocating for greater study of historical exclusion from patenting and for policies and programs aimed at making patent-heavy STEM fields more inclusive. For example, we advocated for passage of the Inventor Diversity for Economic Advancement (IDEA) Act, which would direct the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) to collect inventors' demographic data on a voluntary basis and make this information available in the aggregate for research.
我們是Invent Together的創始合作伙伴，該活動由組織、大學、公司和其他利益相關者支持，致力於瞭解發明和專利方面的性別、種族、收入和其他多樣性差距，並支持旨在縮小這些差距的公共政策和私人努力。通過 Invent Together，我們倡導更多地研究歷史上被排除在專利之外的現象，並倡導旨在使專利密集的 STEM 領域更具包容性的政策和計劃。例如，我們主張通過《發明人多樣性促進經濟進步法》（IDEA），該法案將指示美國專利商標局（USPTO）自願收集發明者的人口統計數據，並將這些信息彙總用於研究。
The story of engineering breakthroughs by our Company is a case study for how the U.S. patent system helps inventors get their ideas into the marketplace, while funding future risk-taking and innovation. This story helps explain why we have long championed support for strong IP rights as a foundation for future inventors of all backgrounds and why, in 2022, we partnered with Invent Together on the launch of TIPA.
我們公司的工程突破故事是一個案例研究，說明了美國專利體系如何幫助發明者將他們的想法推向市場，同時爲未來的冒險和創新提供資金。這個故事有助於解釋爲甚麼我們長期以來一直倡導支持強大的知識產權，以此作爲未來各種背景的發明家的基礎，以及爲甚麼我們在 2022 年與 Invent Together 合作推出了 TIPA。
TIPA, which formally launched during the summer, is an online learning platform aimed at guiding inventors through the benefits of patenting and the process of obtaining a patent - particularly potential inventors with backgrounds that provide them little or no exposure to the world of IP. The educational modules of TIPA are designed to show potential patentees what they can gain from patenting their invention and what the process looks like from the inventor's point of view.
TIPA於夏季正式推出，是一個在線學習平臺，旨在指導發明者瞭解專利的好處和獲得專利的過程，尤其是那些背景使他們很少或根本沒有機會接觸知識產權世界的潛在發明人。TIPA的教育模塊旨在向潛在的專利權人展示他們從申請發明專利中可以獲得甚麼，以及從發明者的角度來看，該過程是怎樣的。
Most importantly, the free course aims to make patenting more accessible for groups historically underrepresented in the patent-heavy science and engineering fields, including women, people of color, people who identify as LGBTQ+, people from lower-income communities and people with disabilities.
最重要的是，免費課程旨在讓歷史上在專利密集的科學和工程領域代表性不足的羣體更容易獲得專利，包括女性、有色人種、認同爲LGBTQ+的人、來自低收入社區的人和殘疾人。
We have long championed strong patent rights because we know the personal, national and global transformative power they bring. In developing TIPA, we were motivated by the belief that everyone can invent, that every inventor can learn to patent and that strong patent rights empower individual inventors to transform the world in ways that benefit us all.
長期以來，我們一直倡導強大的專利權，因爲我們知道它們帶來的個人、國家和全球變革力量。在開發 TIPA 的過程中，我們堅信每個人都可以發明，每個發明人都可以學會專利，強大的專利權使個人發明者能夠以造福我們所有人的方式改變世界。
