We are delighted to present you with the launch edition of The Women’s IP World Annual 2019/2020, celebrating
women at all levels working in IP Law and Innovation. From the very beginning, the response and feedback we have
had was amazing, and we would like to thank all of the incredible women involved. Our aim was to celebrate a group
of diverse women, from all over the globe, showcasing their achievements and also their personalities to inspire and
inform. We have taken an unbiased approach and kept the articles & profiles as authentic as possible, to keep the
author’s own personal style. This has resulted in a cocktail of inspirational women coming together to share thoughts,
ideas, and experience positively. We hope you enjoy this issue as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
