The Sharing Economy for Intellectual Property Assets

Smart Pools enable companies to share the right to license their patents while also retaining IP ownership. This also makes it easy for other companies, Members, to access licenses in one technology area from a single source, the Smart Pool, by paying an annual fee. The revenue generated from these licenses is then shared among Founders.

01.
2 Week Set Up Time
The typical setup for traditional patent pools can be a year long painstaking process. However, our pools are launched after 2 weeks, promising a quicker and more efficient path to innovation.
02.
Adoption of Their Technologies
Because early stage technologies do not fit traditional pooling and licensing models, adoption is key to your business model.
03.
Unlock New Revenue Streams at No Cost
90% of the revenue generated from Smart Pools goes to the Founders, meaning that you can then encourage the adoption of your technology while monetizing your patents.

Widespread adoption of a standard is only possible with the involvement and commitment of standards bodies, industry partners, manufacturers and intellectual property rights holders. Based on several relevant patents, the Digital Link Smart Pool offers a unique framework in the field of interactive packaging – not only granting the freedom to operate but also offering defensive benefits to protect brand owners.

 

Laurent Tonnelier, President

We are elated to become a Founder of IPwe’s Digital Link Smart Pool. This new venture, using our most relevant patents, together with MOBILEAD, will facilitate access to the brand ecosystem, enabling SMEs and enterprises to secure QR Code reading with the most efficient digital technology from ATT.

 

Jérôme Pichot, Founder

The LiDAR Smart Pool is a tremendous opportunity for innovative companies like skanSense. The process was simple and the first contact with IPwe to launch took less than two weeks. I will be working closely with the IPwe team to select key players In the LiDAR ecosystem, such as SMEs and larger innovators, and engage them in the Smart Pool as Founders and Members. LiDAR technology is entering a critical phase of adoption with applications in multiple industries and I look forward to leading this effort.
