You don't need to be a genius to be an inventor #3 - with Yufei Blankenship, PhD

In this episode we talk with Dr. Yufei Blankenship. She is a Principal Researcher of Standardization with Ericsson. She has more than 200 issued US patents. In 2020, she was named an “Inventor of the Year” by Ericsson for her work with 3GPP 4G and 5G standards. We talked with her about the importance of contributing to the next little step towards a big breakthrough.

This episode is part of our ⁠Word IP Day⁠ special, that this year is about ‘Women and IP: Accelerating innovation and creativity’. To honour such an important subject, we have interviewed four successful women inventors with extensive IP knowledge. Their stories and messages of encouragement for anyone interested in pursuing their careers in the STEM industries, and particularly for young women, are inspiring.
