The NCPP is proud to partner with law firms, corporations, small businesses, and other non-profits to ensure the best and brightest minds in the patent industry are rigorously trained and available to serve their intellectual property stakeholders.
Your support helps bring this vision to fruition and enables our CPP members, employers, and patent holders to better compete on a national and international scale.
While both the U.S. population and American businesses have become more diverse, the intellectual property field, especially the patent industry, has not followed suit. Furthermore, the demand for diverse IP talent continues to grow as more corporations, including large tech companies with vast IP portfolios, now require that their outside law firms actively engage with women and ethnic minorities.
To this end, the NCPP is committed to providing opportunities and scholarships for minority applicants pursuing careers as Technical Specialists or Patent Agents to earn their Certified Patent Professional (CPP).
Join us in promoting and preserving patent industry excellence, one CPP at a time. You can designate your tax-deductible donation to our general mission or for minority scholarships. We appreciate your sponsorship and support.
