Announcing the Inaugural Recipient of the Turner Boyd Women in Intellectual Property Pipeline Scholarship, Nataliia Mosheva

Turner Boyd is excited to announce Nataliia Mosheva as the inaugural recipient of the Turner Boyd Women in Intellectual Property Pipeline Scholarship at California State University at Northridge (CSUN). Nataliia is a biochemistry student at CSUN. Nataliia is smart, interesting, motivated, and committed. With her undergraduate studies in biochemistry and future plans for law school—including plans to sit for the Patent Bar as soon as possible—she is exactly the student we were hoping to find. Turner Boyd has committed not only funding for Nataliia’s education but also ongoing mentorship, and we very much look forward to knowing and interacting with her over the coming years.Turner Boyd partners Karen Boyd, Jennifer Seraphine, and Robert Kent endowed this Pipeline Scholarship fund with $50,000 in 2021 to motivate and foster women in the fields of both technology and law. While women make up 50% of all students graduating from law school, they are vastly underrepresented in IP law. One of the fundamental reasons for this is a pipeline problem: women continue to receive proportionally fewer STEM degrees than their male classmates, and a degree in a technical field is an important building block for a successful career in our line of work. As the largest intellectual property litigation boutique in the country founded and majority-owned by women, Turner Boyd aims to inspire more women to take this path. The Pipeline Scholarship is part of our continuous efforts to source, hire, support, and promote the future talent of our field.We hope you are as excited as we are to encourage more young women to pursue IP litigation as a career.
