Introduction

Fostering new ideas is key to growing your startup. Most innovations concern wider areas than a single region or nation. Scaling is a long and risky process. Protecting the core ideas of your startup before the scaling period is a priority. 

However, the current intellectual property (IP) protection system is very expensive, lengthy and complex. Access to this system is denied to most startups because of very heavy costs. Only the few startups that are able to guarantee their return on investment through IP obtain the funding they need to succeed. 

The CreaFREE ecosystem fundamentally changes this situation.

CreaFREE is a simple and global ecosystem that has been designed for startups. It assists innovators with tools among which the private patent (CreaBOOK) appears the most important. It is intended to prove that their authors are the genuine creators of the innovation(s). Unlike old IP, CreaFREE aims to address authentic proof of authorship, long-term security and immediate worldwide extended protection.

Thanks to the Basic CreaMAKER, the initial protection of your startup's ideas is free. Founder(s) can download the CreaMAKER Tutorial, write their first CreaBOOK and timestamp it. Within a few hours, a startup can protect and claim the primacy of its research and development. They can then register this private patent on the digital platform and progressively update it to build a superior property title.

This system is based on Article 27 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and its mandatory implementing international treaties which recognize the protection of all authors' material and moral rights to their creative works.

The Problem With Traditional IP Systems

Old IP structures are a barrier to startups’ innovations. As we explained in a previous blog related to the barriers against innovations, this is the result of: 

• High costs: The prices for internationally extended patents are too high for nearly all startups and creators.
• Complex procedures: Patent’s examination before the offices and defending them in court suffer long delays and require the support of highly qualified specialists that startups cannot afford.
• Limited protection: State patents are not flexible, only protect one specific invention and have a limited term, especially if we consider the development duration of most innovations.
   

Such factors are a major obstacle to the protection of creative work of all small and medium enterprises (SMEs). More than 90% of startups do not make it because they have no intellectual property which can guarantee the return on investment of their innovation. Most innovations, even those our world crucially needs, cannot be developed due to a lack of funding.

The transition from the traditional system to the new IP system is essential to protect the work of creators, increase the attractiveness of investments proposed by startups and answer current world challenges.
