In recent years, we have made great progress in envisioning, implementing, and championing programmes for furthering diversity and inclusion (D&I) within our own teams.

Imagine if we could systematically scale out these efforts from our individual companies to the industry. ADAPT (Advancing Diversity Across Patent Teams) is a new D&I initiative founded by Amazon, Cruise, Disney, Google, LOT Network, Meta, and Microsoft.

ADAPT seeks to build a single, centralised platform that can serve as a go-to resource for DEI programme managers, potential volunteers, sponsors, nonprofits, and aspiring IP professionals alike.
