Sara Dorchak, counsel, had her “Nothing Can Dim the Light That Shines From Within: Reflections on the Special December Edition of Women in Intellectual Property Law” article published in Bright Ideas, a publication of the Intellectual Property Law Section of the New York State Bar Association. The article summarizes the special December edition of the Women in Intellectual Property Law event, hosted by Davis and Gilbert LLP, which was, said Sara, “a beacon of light that lifted my spirits in an otherwise dark time, and left me feeling motivated and empowered.”
The event featured four panelists: Terria P. Jenkins, partner and chair of the Trademark and Brand Licensing Group at Bond, Schoeneck & King, PLLC; Marietta Jo, general counsel at Supergoop!; Nancy Mertzel, managing partner of Metzel Law PLLC; and Moji Onabanjo, managing attorney of GV Legal. Sara said, “Our esteemed panel of speakers was introduced and they discussed their journeys, the challenges they face, and the delicate balance between career aspirations and familial responsibilities. Throughout the event, the panelists reiterated the importance of mentorship, networking, and continuous learning in advancing women’s careers in IP.”
Sara concluded, “After listening to these amazing women, I left with renewed determination to fill my notebook not only with past accomplishments but also with aspirations for the future.”
