Join us at the IP Launchpad Program event, where Black Innovation Leaders gather around the conference table. Featuring logos of USPTO and PatentHacks, this initiative aims to fuel innovation in Florida’s vibrant Innovation Hub.
IP Launchpad

​The Black Innovation Leaders of Florida (BILF) is proud to provide the businesses in Florida with access to our IP Launchpad program. This program is designed to empower entrepreneurs with the knowledge and resources they need to protect their intellectual property (IP).

BILF recognizes the immense potential for innovation within black communities. The IP Launchpad program bridges this gap and empowers these entrepreneurs to protect their ideas.

IP Launchpad Virtual Series

​In collaboration with the USPTO (United States Patent and Trademark Office), BILF will host virtual sessions to learn the fundamentals of trademarks, patents, copyrights, and trade secrets for FREE. 

Ongoing Program: 2024-2025

​The IP Launchpad program extends beyond the kickoff event that launched with four courses led by the USPTO. BILF is offering members access to in-person and virtual training sessions throughout 2024-2025.

Our network of four Hubs (Organizational Members) will host additional sessions across Florida. 

Access to Self-paced Courses

​BILF is providing access to online self-paced courses for up to 1,000 Florida businesses looking to learn how the patent and trademark process works in the US. These self-paced courses are offered via a grant and will be administered on a platform by one of our technical partners, Patent Hacks.

Training Completion Benefit

​Florida-based entrepreneurs, who complete the live virtual training sessions or enroll in self-paced courses made available through BILF, may be eligible for further assistance with their trademark or patent application process. BILF has partnered with Patent Hacks, a trusted technical service provider, to offer this valuable benefit. Application assistance for members outside the self-paced courses is subject to grant funding availability and verification of the business’ readiness.

  • ​Gain valuable knowledge about protecting your intellectual property.
  • ​Network with other Black entrepreneurs and innovation leaders in Florida.
  • ​Receive potential assistance with your trademark or patent application.

​The Black community in Florida is brimming with brilliant ideas waiting to be brought to life.
