This Focus 45 session provides the critical context needed to ensure the future of IP looks nothing like the "good old days." For International Women’s Week 2026, join FICPI Australia Secretary Ronelle Geldenhuys for a provocative and data-driven exploration of the professional landscape for women in intellectual property. While nostalgia often paints a rosy picture of the "good old days," the reality for women in the profession has historically been one of systemic invisibility and distinct barriers. This webinar will consider generational experiences and perspectives, and question whether the "slightly better" conditions of today are enough, or if the profession is simply trading old obstacles for new, more subtle ones. The session features an expert panel with Professor Jessica Lai (Victoria University of Wellington) and Maryam Khajeh Tabari (Chrysiliou IP/University of Technology Sydney). Drawing on their extensive multi-year research collaboration across Australia and New Zealand, the panel will move beyond anecdotes to present hard-hitting findings from their recent publications. From the "burden on senior women" and the impact of self-group distancing to the persistent presumptions made by clients and colleagues alike, this discussion offers a rare, evidence-based look at how gender shapes the IP career trajectory.

In this session Louis-Pierre Gravelle, our Focus 45 Host, will discuss what is needed to be an IP strategist for our clients with Kate Wilson, Donna Patane and Denise Hodge. Intellectual property practitioners do more than simply file a trade mark application or draft a patent specification. Clients often need guidance regarding what registered IP can (and can’t) do for them; where, when and how best to spend their IP budget on registered rights; and what types of IP protection they should be focusing on to best support their commercial strategies. Good attorneys and lawyers must be commercially minded in order to support their clients in the best possible way. This webinar will touch on what is needed to be an IP strategist for our clients.
