Learn how gender disparity in patent citations may influence innovation

The agency’s new working paper, "Untapped Potential: Investigating Gender Disparities in Patent Citations," explores why majority-female inventor teams receive up to 22% fewer citations than patents by majority-male inventor teams. The research also addresses gender disparity's impact on future patents and potential impacts on innovation more broadly.
