Why IPWORTH

Creative work can create intellectual assets. Those assets can create value.

But value can be lost when ownership is unclear, rights are undocumented, contracts are weak, royalties are missed, pricing is poor or commercial opportunities go unseen.

We help you understand what you have, where value may be leaking and what you can do next.

Our philosophy

Intellectual property deserves to be treated as an asset.

Our philosophy of Intellectual Luxury informs how we think about creative value. Our developing theory of IP Consciousing explores how people move from simply making creative work to recognising, managing and using the intellectual assets within it.
