Womble Bond Dickinson was the Gold Sponsor of ADAPT’s Day of Diversity which took place May 2 in Palo Alto, Calif. Azie Aziz, Preston Heard, Rodney Miller, and Carrie Richey represented the firm at the event.

At the Day of Diversity, ADAPT introduced its ADAPT Professional Guide. Azie has helped develop these materials, working with officials from Meta, Google and Cisco. The ADAPT Professional Guide provides information to anyone who may be interested in a career in patent law.

In addition, ADAPT’s website features Azie’s career journey, from an electrical engineer to a geophysicist to a patent agent and IP analyst in WBD’s Houston office. 

ADAPT is an industry-wide effort to increase diversity, equity, and inclusion within the intellectual property profession. Click here to read more about WBD’s participation in ADAPT.
