Frequently Asked Questions
No, a Smart Pool Incubator Campaign surveys interest in a Smart Pool before officially launching, meaning that not all Smart Pool Incubator Campaigns will become official IPwe Smart Pools. To learn more about our officially launched Smart Pools, please visit www.staging26.ipwe.com/smart-pool
Smart Pool Founders are technology leaders enabling emerging technologies adoption by contributing the rights—without granting ownership—to license their patents to an Official IPwe Smart Pool. If you choose to make available the right to license your patents to a Smart Pool Incubator Campaign, your company can access exclusive early-adopter benefits and discounts by being the first Founder of a Smart Pool that officially launches from that Incubator Campaign
Companies that indicate licensing interest to a Smart Pool Incubator Campaign do so to encourage companies with relevant patents to make those patents available for license and eventually become a Founder of the Smart Pool upon official launch
No. Making your patents available for license under a Smart Pool Incubator Campaign does not grant ownership to anyone. You are not contributing the patents to the Smart Pool; you are contributing the ability to license the patents – you remain free to license, sell or use your patents outside the Smart Pool as you see fit. You can withdraw from the Smart Pool at any time
No. It is the same. Contributing the right to license your patents to an official Smart Pool does not grant ownership to anyone; you are free to license outside the Smart Pool, pledge your patents as collateral, or sell your patents – the Smart Pool does not take title or limit your ability to use your patents as you see appropriate
