Who we help
Built for the people behind the name.
Carrot & Stick
Two sides of protecting what is yours.
Our carrot
New and ongoing income streams for stars, agents and clubs through licensing and properly managed rights.
Our stick
Enforcement action, through our legal partners, against those who use IP and image rights that don't belong to them.
Our approach
Three steps, taken seriously.
Protection is not a single filing. It is a position you hold over time, and it works best when the commercial side and the legal side are managed together.
- 01
We map what is yours
A clear audit of the names, marks, likeness, creative works and existing deals that make up your identity.
- 02
We protect it
Filings where they are missing, active monitoring of how the assets are used, and enforcement with our partner law firms where they are used without permission.
- 03
We help you earn from it
Licensing structured on agreed terms, including AI likeness and Holobox arrangements, so the commercial use of your image is authorised rather than assumed.
Holobox
Your likeness, in the room, on your terms.
IProtector holds a licence to Verofax's AI-powered Holobox software and acts as its agent. That means a likeness can appear on stage or on screen under an agreement that sets out exactly where and how it is used.
