Understanding Intellectual Property
Ideas are intellectual property (also known as IP). They are valuable just like physical property.
We protect and care for our physical property to maintain its value. We put locks on doors and mow our lawns. The same should be true for intellectual property. We must also exhibit care and protection since ideas are valuable.
In 2020, only 10% of the assets were tangible*. The other 90% were intangible, meaning intellectual property. Take an iPhone example. 10% of the value is in the parts and pieces. The other 90% of the value is in the IP that makes up the iPhone.

Here’s the problem
Traditional ways of protecting ideas—patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets—take WAY too much time and are extremely expensive.
Imagine being told that to protect your idea with a patent you must complete an application, pay $30,000, and wait 1-3 years. And to top it off, this patent application has an 88% chance of being rejected. You and your ideas deserve better.
For far too long the world of IP protection has had too much friction. Anytime an industry is fraught with friction, disruption is not far behind. We’re fast approaching the UBER breakthrough moment of intellectual property protection, all made possible through blockchain technology

The bar of protecting your intellectual property is high—way too high.
By Lowering the Bar, we Can all get in the game. The world needs your ideas. you need them protected.
