Mayer agrees that female patent litigators are under-represented in IP litigation. In fact, women now make up about half of all law students at ABA-accredited schools, but only about 34 percent of attorneys at law firms generally. In addition, the percentage of women partners at law firms is only around 22 percent with only about 18 percent being equity partners. And, studies that have focused on IP practices have found even fewer women attorneys. For example, Law360’s 2016 Glass Ceiling Report found that women make up only about 25 percent of the attorneys at IP boutiques surveyed.
