Diversity (or lack thereof) In IP Law

Hello World!  Thanks for checking out our latest post on Diversity in IP Law.  This is a topic of discussion that comes up frequently in our firm.  We are constantly looking at ways to increase the diversity of our team and the vendors we use. 

I recently came across an article from ABA Landslide magazine that touched on the lack of diversity, especially gender diversity, in Patent Law.  Not only were some of the numbers discouraging, the lack of diversity in STEM fields has carried over to IP law.  Check out some of these numbers:

Women make up only 21.8 percent of USPTO registered attorneys and agents.  The single most alarming stat from the study is as follows:  There are more patent attorneys and agents with the first name “Michael” than there are racially diverse women.  In fact, the first racially diverse woman did not register with the USPTO until the late 1980’s.  Less than 40 years ago!  For such a diverse field of work, it is surprising to see these kind of figures.

Variety is the spice of life!  Diversity in a workforce is key to limiting turnover and keeping employees happy.  It has also been proven to have a direct correlation with higher revenues and increased market share!  While many companies continue to neglect or under-value this data, the ones who give priority to a diverse workplace will be rewarded in the end.  

While much of the data has shown the lack of growth in diversity among IP firms, there are a few figures that do point to an increase in diversity in the coming years.  2.2 percent of registrants with the USPTO since 2000 have been racially diverse women.  While that number seems small, it is obviously a massive improvement over where things were 40 years ago when the first racially diverse woman registered with the USPTO.

The team members at Burris Law are proud to have a diverse workforce in a Woman Owned Firm.  Constantly looking at the diversity in our office and figuring out ways we can increase it both within our firm and the suppliers we use.  Becoming a member of NAMWOLF has given us access to a plethora of resources from which we draw upon regularly.  In addition to NAMWOLF, we are also members of the Women Owned organization, bringing together business owners from across various industries.  Using these organizations as tools to help us increase diversity has been a tremendous resource.

Huge shout out to the firm of Harrity & Harrity, specifically Elaine Spector and LaTia Brand, for all their hard work in bringing this information to light.  Great job, the article is filled with solid data and makes many good points on different topics as they relate to diversity.  

Hopefully things continue to trend in the right direction, and we can work towards a more diverse industry of IP law.  In the meantime,  Burris Law is extremely proud to be among the leaders in diversity for boutique firms, and we are happy to blaze a trail forward that is diverse and represents the best of Detroit and America.  To the future!

First Trailer for Boxing Drama 'Tiger' with Mickey Rourke & Prem Singh

"Nobody likes change… To me it doesn't matter how a fighter look, it ain't going to knock me down." R3M Pictures has debuted an official trailer for a boxing drama titled Tiger, the latest from Australian filmmaker Alister Grierson (Sanctum, Kokoda: 39th Battalion). A practicing Sikh is banned by the boxing commission for refusing to back down from his religious beliefs. Through racial profiling and stereotypical threats, he does what any strong American would do, fight back - in the courts, and in the ring. The film stars Prem Singh as Pardeep Nagra, and the cast includes Mickey Rourke, Janel Parrish, Marshall Manesh, and Michael 'Mick' Harrity. This looks alright, but I'm not too sure. It seems like a meaningful story about someone fighting for what he loves to do, fighting against age old racism and prejudice. Check it out below. ›››

Ex-Minnesota policeman to argue self-defense in Australian woman

(Reuters) – A former Minnesota police officer charged with murdering an unarmed Australian woman in July will argue that he acted in self-defense when he fired the fatal shot from his police car, a newspaper report on Wednesday said.

Former Minneapolis police officer Mohamed Noor and his attorney Tom Plunkett (L) leave the Hennepin County jail after posting bail in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. March 21, 2018. REUTERS/Craig Lassig

Mohamed Noor, 32, who has been charged with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter in the fatal shooting of 40-year-old Justine Damond, will next appear in court on May 8, online court records showed.

Minnesota’s Star Tribune newspaper reported it obtained a court filing in the case made on Wednesday that said Noor intends to claim he used “reasonable force” when he shot Damond, a spiritual healer from Sydney, should the case go to trial.

The document was not available in online filings and a lawyer for Noor was not immediately available for comment.

In the July incident, Damond, who was living in Minneapolis, called 911 to report a possible sexual assault near her house. When a police vehicle pulled up in an alley behind her home, she approached the driver’s side and was then shot through the door, authorities said.

The shooting drew condemnation in Minnesota and Australia, where Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull called it “inexplicable.” Then-Minneapolis police Chief Janeé Harteau resigned after city officials said procedures had been violated and Damond “didn’t have to die.”

The Star Tribune said she was in her pajamas when she approached the car.

“How can a woman out in the street in her pajamas seeking assistance be shot like that?” Turnbull said in the interview with Australia’s television Nine Network in July.

Matthew Harrity, the officer driving the police car from which Noor shot, said he was startled by a loud sound and both officers “got spooked” when Damond appeared out of nowhere, investigators said.

Noor fired through the open driver’s-side window, striking Damond in the abdomen, they said.

Noor appeared in court last month and was later released on a bond of $500,000. He was also ordered to surrender his passport and agreed to avoid possession of any firearms.

The penalty for third-degree murder is up to 25 years in prison and second-degree manslaughter carries a penalty of up to 10 years, according to a state website.

Damond, also known as Justine Ruszczyk, had taken the name of her fiance, Don Damond, ahead of their wedding planned for August 2017. She owned a meditation and life-coaching company, according to her personal website.

Revelaron detalles sobre australiana tiroteada en EEUU

Minneapolis (EE.UU).- En una entrevista con los investigadores la semana pasada, uno de los dos agentes de la Policía de Minneapolis involucrados en el tiroteo que mató a la australiana Justine Damond el pasado 15 de julio, dijo que se sorprendió por un “sonido fuerte” cerca de la patrulla en la que se encontraba.

Inmediatamente después, Damond se acercó a la ventana lateral del conductor y fue fatalmente fusilada por el oficial Mohamed Noor, según los investigadores.

“Tras la llegada de la policía, una mujer ‘da un golpe’ a la parte posterior de la patrulla”, dice una orden, según la radio pública de Minneapolis. “Después de eso, no se sabe qué sucedió exactamente, pero la mujer terminó muerta en el suelo”.

El nuevo detalle puede ayudar a explicar lo que llevó al asesinato de Damond, una novia australiana de 40 años de edad que había llegado a Estados Unidos para casarse con su prometido.

Damond había llamado al 911 alrededor de las 11:30 p.m. de ese sábado por la noche para que la policía investigara una posible agresión sexual en un callejón cerca de su residencia de Minneapolis.

Los oficiales Michael Harrity y Mohamed Noor llegaron a la escena. Menos de 30 minutos después, Damond murió de una herida de bala en el abdomen.

Sigue existiendo una serie de preguntas sobre lo que ocurrió en esos momentos. Las cámaras de los oficiales no estaban encendidas y el tiroteo no fue capturado por la cámara del carro, dijeron los investigadores.

El tiroteo ha perturbado al Departamento de Policía de Minneapolis, causando indignación en los Estados Unidos y en Australia, y llevando a la renuncia de la jefa de policía del departamento.

En la declaración, la jefa Harteau aseguró que “la tragedia del sábado, junto a otros incidentes recientes” le habían hecho reflexionar y tomar la decisión de dimitir. “Esto no debería haber ocurrido”, dijo el exjefe de policía, Janeé Harteau. “En nuestras patrullas, usted encontrará las palabras: ‘Proteger con valentía y servir con compasión’. Esto no sucedió”.

El caso, uno de los más de 500 disparos mortales por parte de la policía en Estados Unidos este año, también ha planteado serias preocupaciones en su país de origen.

La noticia de la muerte de Damond se ha reproducido en todos los medios de comunicación en Australia, donde amigos, según informes de los medios, están exigiendo una investigación federal.
