Deep dives

Inefficiencies in the IP Market

The intellectual property (IP) market is characterized by inefficiencies, high transaction costs, and a lack of transparency. Most small creators and companies cannot navigate this maze due to the exorbitant costs involved in discovering and negotiating IP rights. Only the largest players, who can afford extensive legal teams, effectively engage in IP transactions, leaving the majority of the market stagnant. This systemic issue prevents innovative ideas from being utilized and monetized, as most individuals lack access to necessary information and resources.
