NFT-Backed IP Marketplace (Licensing)
Why Choose This Project?
Traditional IP licensing platforms are centralized, often slow, opaque, and prone to disputes over ownership and usage rights. This blockchain-based IP marketplace allows creators to tokenize intellectual property (patents, trademarks, copyrights, digital content) as NFTs, enabling secure licensing, ownership verification, and transparent royalty distribution. Businesses and individuals can license IP directly from the creator with confidence.
