SPECIAL EPISODE: Dr. Mary Hannon on Vaccine Myths and Managing the Latest Wave of the Pandemic

In this episode, April and Kim interview Mary Hannon, the woman who started the public conversation about the gender gap in the patent bar and inspired this podcast. Mary is currently a law student at DePaul University and in the fall she will be joining Sidley Austin as an associate in the IP litigation group. She is the author of The Patent Bar Gender Gap: Expanding the Eligibility Requirements to Foster Inclusion and Innovation in the U.S. Patent System, which was published in IP Theory in the fall of 2020. This article generated significant media attention and in December 2020 U.S. Senators Hirono and Tillis referenced Mary’s article in the letter they sent to the Director of the USPTO concerning the gender gap among patent practitioners.  In March 2021, the federal register published a request for comments by the USPTO to propose changes to the eligibility requirements to sit for the patent bar. In this podcast, we will explore the trajectory of Mary’s education and career, which led her to formulate her ideas about the gender gap in the patent bar, and her innovative ideas about the solution to this problem.  Highlights include: The many facets of a science-related career (3:23) The path to IP law (5:11)Handling rejection with grace and turning it into a job offer (9:14)The best advice Mary got from her dad (11:22) Work-life balance as a trial lawyer (15:07)The inspiration behind Mary’s ground-breaking article (26:05)The arcane criteria currently used to determine patent bar eligibility (29:17)Possible fixes to the outdated eligibility criteria for the patent bar (32:09)Increasing the visibility of patent law as a career option (35:52)Expanding opportunities vs. lowering the bar (37:35)Sailing through unexpected celebrity and controversy (41:00)Finding your voice and seizing the day (50:18) Meet the Hosts: April Abele Isaacson, M.S.Kimberlynn B.

Mary Hannon: Shining the Light on the Wide Gender Gap in the Patent Bar

In this episode, Mary T. Hannon, a law student at DePaul University College of Law and patent agent at Marshall, Gerstein &amp; Boren LLP, discusses her article "The Patent Bar Gender Gap: Expanding the Eligibility Requirements to Foster Inclusion and Innovation in the U.S. Patent System," which is published in IP Theory. Hannon begins by explaining what the Patent Bar is, why it matters, and how one becomes a member. She observes that the qualifications for becoming a member of the Patent Bar are antiquated and arbitrary, and effectively exclude many women, for no good reason. She argues that reforming those requirements would increase the diversity of the patent bar and reflect the realities of innovation in the modern era. Hannon is on Twiter at @marythannon.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
