Tiny Intellectual Property
A Blockchain IP Agency
Intellectual property is a multi-trillion-dollar asset class stuck in an antiquated legal system that makes it illiquid and inaccessible. But what could happen if you could free your IP by onramping it to the blockchain.
When you build a house, it’s yours - your real property. Similarly, when you create a software application or a fictional character, it’s your intellectual property (IP). And whether you’re a developer, author, musician, researcher, chemist, designer, architect or basically any kind of human being, you should care about intellectual property - a great deal.
The World's Biggest Asset Class
Intellectual property like copyright grants creators exclusive rights to their works, allowing them to benefit from their innovations by preventing others from using or selling their IP without permission. IP powers the creator economy.
Intellectual property, however, is not only Hollywood movies and billboard charts: IP means AI models, memes, game assets, character traits, and so much more. Pepe is IP. Beyonce's voice and likeness are IP. A blueprint for a new invention is IP. Mickey Mouse is IP. A Fortnite skin is IP. Once you start looking, you'll find intellectual property everywhere - no wonder it is considered the world’s biggest asset class worth multiple trillion dollars.
But why doesn't tradition IP work?
Intellectual property, the world's biggest asset class, is everywhere. But here's the catch: It's illiquid and trapped behind closed platforms.
Due to the intangible nature of intellectual property, the process of capturing ownership and defining usage rights has always been tedious. For hundreds of years, lawyers around the world have created millions of pages of legalese, defining what their client’s originality is and how others may or may not use it.
This work-intensive - and thus costly - process has not only lead to an unfair system where only the top 1% of creators can afford to properly set up licensing agreements for their work; it has also left IP locked up in an illiquid and opaque legacy system, while more and more other assets move to the digital sphere.
And there's another major issue: the sheer speed and superabundance of AI-generated media is outpacing the current IP system that was designed for physical replication. In many cases, LLMs are trained on copyrighted data, but proving that is hard. In the worst case, creators are degraded to mere datasets, hindering the sustainable reproduction of original content: A classic tragedy of the commons situation.
