As June marks Pride Month, the IP world must support LGBTQ+ lawyers amid a concerning rollback of rights for this community, says Brian Winterfeldt of Winterfeldt IP.

To me, Pride Month serves as an opportunity to recognise and celebrate that members of the LGBTQ+ community deserve full equality in all aspects of society.

Over the past few years, we have definitely seen efforts at rolling back LGBTQ+ rights, at least in certain US states. This trend is immensely disheartening, particularly after a couple decades of slow but steady progress in securing legal anti-discrimination protections.

 A vital celebration
