The IP value can be present whether the product is a physical good or a virtual service. Together, we can empower and enable a new generation of ingenious minded and commercially aware entrepreneurs” J. P. Ogier.

London entrepreneur Patience Nwodu takes special IP prize at Global Women Inventors and Innovators Network awards

London-based entrepreneur Patience Nwodu won the Special Award for Intellectual Property in this year’s Global Women Inventors and Innovators Network awards. IPAN sponsored the IP category with a prize towards the GlobalWIIN 2020 Awards. For the first time, the awards took place online. This is a high quality, reusable and versatile carrier, now bearing the registered trade mark Chibu®.

The carrier is made from sustainable, renewable and biodegradable cotton canvas. IPAN Director Ruth Soetendorp, who was a member of the independent GlobalWIIN judging panel, said that the judging process was an “exhausting but energising experience”, with nine judges from three continents judging almost 30 candidates – all via Zoom. “It was agreed unanimously to award Patience Nwodu the IPAN Prize – since she had, as a sole inventor and entrepreneur, sought to engage with the IP system, not only by registering the Chíbu trade mark, but also by applying to patent her invention.”

Congratulating the GlobalWIIN award winners, IPAN’s Chairman John Ogier said “You have already taken some of the most vital steps to realise your dreams and ambitions, in creating your business for your invention or innovation. “There are many challenges to launching a successful business. In the 21st century economy, it is not enough just to have a good idea or even a great new product or service. You need to be able to realise the value of your innovation in a globally competitive market. This means being able to protect the ownership of your innovation and create a recognised brand identity in the marketplace. Intellectual Property provides you with the tools to be able to do this.”
