IP for Business Scheme

Intellectual property (“IP”) is not only an asset, but also a strategic business tool. To support the business development of the creative industries, IP FARM officially launches the IP Business Partner Support Pilot Programme, which aims to assist creative enterprises and related industry organisations in identifying, managing and utilising IP more effectively. The Programme supports enterprises in transforming IP from a matter of rights protection into a sustainable business asset and strategic tool.

In the development of the creative industries, IP is not limited to the protection of works, brands, designs, content and technologies. It is also closely connected to commercial collaborations, licensing models, cross-border operations, revenue sharing and risk management. However, many creative enterprises encounter challenges in their daily operations, such as unclear IP ownership arrangements, lack of licensing frameworks for co-branding or collaboration projects, insufficient rights protection strategies before entering cross-border markets, or seeking professional assistance only after disputes arise. These issues may result in loss of rights, limited revenue potential and substantial dispute resolution costs.

As an IP business partner to enterprises, IP FARM seeks to provide practical and forward-looking support through this Pilot Programme to creative enterprises, brands, project teams and industry operators in need. The Programme helps enterprises review IP and contract management risks at an early stage, build a more robust foundation for IP management, and better prepare for future collaborations, licensing, expansion and commercialisation.
