What is Intellectual Property Tokenization?

Understanding Intellectual Property Tokenization

Intellectual property tokenization involves representing ownership rights, usage rights, or licensing rights related to IP assets (e.g., patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets) as digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens can represent full or fractional ownership of the IP, rights to receive royalties from its use, or other defined benefits. This can transform traditionally illiquid and complex IP assets into more accessible and manageable digital assets.

Protocols Used for Tokenization

Choosing the Right Token Standard for Intellectual Property

We prioritize security, compliance, and interoperability in all our tokenization projects.

Fundshing carefully selects the appropriate token standard based on the specific type of IP and the intended use of the tokens. Common options include

ERC-721 is ideal for representing non-fungible IP assets, such as patents, individual copyrights, or exclusive trademarks. Each token is unique and securely linked to a specific intellectual property right.

ERC-1155  allows both fungible (bulk licenses, royalty shares) and non-fungible (exclusive IP rights) assets to be represented within a single smart contract.

ERC-20 is used for fractional ownership of IP assets, enabling investors to trade IP-backed securities or revenue-sharing tokens.

ERC-1400/ERC-3643 These standards ensure regulatory compliance when tokenized IP assets are classified as securities, making them ideal for IP investment funds and institutional licensing deals.
