articleOpen accessSenior authorAbstract Despite growing attention to gender disparities in innovation, little is known about how gender shapes the characteristics and outcomes of patented inventions. This study analyzes 3.7 million U.S. utility patents, covering 1.8 million distinct inventors and over 200,000 organizations, to investigate the gendered patterns of inventorship. While women’s participation in patenting has increased over time, they remain significantly underrepresented, and patents involving female inventors co…

articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingThis exploratory study set out to pilot use of a Risk Innovation approach to support the development of advanced biopreservation technologies, and the societally beneficial development of advanced technologies more broadly. This is the first study to apply the Risk Innovation approach - which has previously been used to help individual organizations clarify areas of value and threats - to multiple entities involved in developing an emerging technology.
