    Frequently Asked Questions

    Becoming an IPwe Smart Pool Member lowers the cost and time to achieve the freedom to innovate compared to 1-to-1 licensing, joining other pools, or ignoring the IP-related issues and risks

    Do I have to contribute my own patents to join as a Member?

    No, the licenses to patents are provided by the Founders only. There is a thorough screening to ensure all patents contributed are high quality and worth inclusion in the Smart Pool

    Are there additional costs once I sign up?

    IPwe's Smart Pools have been designed to be simple and hassle-free. We provide a blanket license without hidden fees to all patents available in the pool, taking away the need to seek additional licenses and the related costs

    Is there an exit fee?

    No. We want our early adopters to understand the value of Smart Pools without the pressure of committing to fees later
