Invented by Us: Black Culture is an Asset | Demo + Community Conversation

Black Culture finally has a ledger. BLK:INV Terminal — the first live system-of-record for Black American intellectual property features over 50,000 verified patents from the Golden Era of Black invention (1870–1940). The platform, founded by MADE CX‘s Tommy Johnson, surfaces the inventors who built America’s railroads, electrical grid, cold chain, modern home, and more — while quantifying the $293 trillion in commercial value that was systematically extracted without credit or compensation. Each inventor profile is paired with a real-time CPRS valuation and a wealth gap narrative generated directly from MADE CX’s Lost Commercial Value engine.

Join us Friday, April 24 as Tommy Johnson makes the case that Black culture is an asset class — and that what was stolen can be documented, valued, and reclaimed. This is a demo and community conversation all about and for Black inventors and tailored for the creative class who are interested in protecting their intellectual property and ensuring multi-generational wealth. Intellectual Property attorney Corinne Cater, Principal and Owner of The Cater Firm, will be on site to answer questions.
