Digital Securities
IPwe Looks to Close Series A on a High Note
Whats Happening?
With only a short time remaining, IPwe looks to soon close a successful round of funding. This raise is occurring in an effort to finance the continued development of IPwe.
The digital securities to be issued are being offered under Regulation D, and represent IPwe’s Series A round of funding.
Investments are being led by a strong group, including Rotter Family Trust, Raptor Group, and more.
IPwe
For those unfamiliar with IPwe, they are a forward thinking company looking to disrupt the global patent industry. They intend to bring transparency, efficiency, and uniformity to an industry that is woefully thin on these attributes. In doing so, the team behind IPwe believes that they will be able to realize impressive profits for both themselves and patent holders.
The team at IPwe intends on creating this disruption through the use of multiple technologies. These include both artificial intelligence, and blockchain. Their own services were built over a 10 year period utilizing this technology. In that time the team has secured 22 patents of their own.
IPwe breaks down their platform into three main categories. These include:
The Global Patent Registry
- Blockchain-enabled registry
Zuse Analytics
- AI software developed to analyze attributes of patents such as strength, viability, value, and others.
IPwe Transaction Platform
- A medium that facilitates transactions and interactions between patent owners, service providers, and more.
These services are a boon to an industry that finds itself disjointed, with no real uniformity between patent offices worldwide.
