Access the 2019 IP Operations Demographic Study

IP Ops ReportThe process-oriented nature of IP is why so many companies adopted strong IP operations teams long before their counterparts in legal ops. And that raises some interesting questions, the biggest one being, “Who are these people who have learned how to apply strong process to the legal function?” This first-ever IP Operations Demographic Study answers those questions.

We identified IP operations professionals across 138 companies and broke them down by:

  • Gender (mostly men, especially at the higher levels)
  • Education (almost half are JDs, more than a third have engineering degrees)
  • Geography (more in San Francisco than anywhere else)

... and much more.

This free report contains an unprecedented amount of data about the makeup of the IP operations function.
