USPTO Launches "DI" Platform
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently launched their Diversity Information Platform (DI Platform) to advance diversity and inclusion efforts throughout the innovation ecosystem. The unique online platform is available to anyone with an internet connection and free to use, offering novel features such as benchmarking tools by industry sector, a forum for sharing best practices to increase participation in innovation, and visual representations of the demographic makeup of U.S. states and industries and the USPTO workforce by geography and occupation. The DI Platform is built on public data available from the U.S. Census Bureau, the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission, and the USPTO. For more information, please visit the USPTO website.
