Carina Gommers, the ECTA First Vice-President and Partner at Wiggin LLP, recently sat down with our host Michele Katz, Founding Partner at Advitam IP, LLC, in Chicago, USA, on the Women's IP World Podcast. During her conversation with Michele, she discussed a topic important for all law firms and associations - diversity and inclusion.
Carina highlighted the need for law firms to prioritize diversity and inclusion across all levels of their organizations. She also emphasized the importance of having diverse panels and committees in IP associations. As she discusses in her opening letter for the Women's IP World Annual 2023, achieving diversity and inclusion in the IP world starts with law firms and extends to associations.
Embracing diverse perspectives and backgrounds is crucial for boosting creativity and productivity within any industry. As highlighted by Carina, encouraging a progressive mindset that values inclusivity can lead to better problem-solving, innovation and, ultimately, a healthier industry for all. By fostering an environment that celebrates differences and promotes collaboration, businesses can harness the power of diversity to drive growth and success.
Carina's practice covers trademark portfolio management and litigation regarding intellectual property rights, including trademarks and designs. Carina has extensive experience regarding counterfeit customs seizures and regularly advises on advertising and unfair market practices.
Since qualifying, she has worked on a number of high-profile cases, representing clients including Solvay, Philips, Supergroup, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble and Wolters Kluwer.
