independent source of advice and
counsel to the President, Congress and
the U.S. Small Business Administration
on economic issues of importance to
women business owners. The NWBC
proposes to conduct a focus group study
to probe in-depth issues relating to the
gender gap in the grant of U.S. Patents,
Trademarks and Copyrights for the time
period 1976–2010. One of NWBC’s
current priorities is to examine in-depth
the relationship between intellectual
property and women-owned businesses.
Very little has been studied in this area,
so the NWBC has crafted a study that is
both quantitative and qualitative. The
quantitative study will use USPTO data
on patents and trademarks to determine
the number of women entrepreneurs
applying for and receiving patents,
trademarks and copyrights. The
quantitative study will also analyze the
differences in the number of women
applying for and receiving patents,
trademarks and copyrights as compared
to men, and will analyze sub-groups of
women as well. The qualitative study
will probe in-depth the questions raised
by the quantitative study as well as
those raised by NWBC. Six focus groups
will be conducted, two with women
participants who have received U.S.
patents, trademarks or copyrights, two
with women participants who applied
for U.S. patents, trademarks or
copyrights but did not receive a grant,
and two with women participants who
have not applied for IP protection.
Title: Focus Groups: Intellectual
Property and Women Entrepreneurs.
Description of Respondents: Women
who have received U.S. patents,
trademarks or copyrights; women who
applied for U.S. patents, trademarks or
copyrights but did not receive a grant;
and women who have not applied for IP
protection.
