If we count the number of roles Andrea Brewster takes on as separate roles, they probably outnumber men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-86346080984429772422015-02-05T15:00:38.422+00:002015-02-05T15:00:38.422+00:00Has anyone actually noticed that in key IP policy ...Has anyone actually noticed that in key IP policy and law making positions in government (UK, US, France, Germany to name a few), the EU (in more than one institution and for some time now) and WIPO (ditto)-it is women that occupy these roles.

You&...Anonymous of 19:09, thanks for your comment.<br /><br />You're welcome to posit whatever you want. Perhaps you have never shared any time and space with economists, statisticians and others who can demonstrate how many different and often conflicting conclusions can be drawn from the same data set.<br /><br />Miao!Merpel McKittennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-86409748760984006982015-02-04T19:09:08.734+00:002015-02-04T19:09:08.734+00:00Not to pick a nit, but if you really believe that ...Not to pick a nit, but if you really believe that "<i>Readers in general, as well as those who organise, speak in and register for IP events, will doubtless draw their own conclusions.</i>" then I would posit that you did not structure your poll in a meaningful way (read that as your poll was a genuine waste of time).<br /><br />Perhaps a re-poll that provides views not so malleable as to be anything to anyone, and thus achieving being nothing to everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-47683258631905492412015-02-04T16:28:54.824+00:002015-02-04T16:28:54.824+00:00Hello.

Just on your last para - maternity [parental] leave, family responsibilities and workplace harassment are all issues relevant to men with careers in IP also. There will not be equality of opportunity in the domestic or professional sphere while these are considered important to one gender only - and both genders lose out as a result. <br />Katnoreply@blogger.com
