Help more inventors get through the first door
Your support helps Community IP expand access to intellectual-property education, mentoring, and patent support for underserved inventors.
Community IP wants to change the access gap. Started by two patent professionals in 2024, our goal is to help the vast, untapped well of talent by providing intellectual-property support to inventors who are historically underrepresented.
Community IP works to expand access to intellectual property for innovators who might otherwise be unable to afford support — subject to program capacity.
