We globally register and legally protect valuable ideas on their way to commercialisation.
Never get ripped off again!

Businesses are built on ideas.

Ideas are vital. They form the basis of everything new in business; cutting-edge research, product development, ad campaigns, strategy, new efficiencies... the list goes on. Without new ideas, we don't progress as a society. And many ideas are very valuable. People have often stolen them in the past. We are here to fix that.

We are Ideas Union

Ideas Union is a collective of professionals created to protect commercially valuable ideas. By pooling our resources, we operate with as much strength as a large company - litigating on behalf of our members.

If someone steals your idea, we back you with:

Clear, irrefutable evidence
Strong enforcement
And court action when required

Did you know?

Global IP theft will cost creative businesses over $750 billion USD in 2026. This stretches across all industries - from Architecture to Zoo management, people steal ideas. It has to be stopped.

A staggering 36% of commercially viable ideas are abandoned because their creators do not feel they can be protected. That’s over a third of all new business concepts and business ideas just dumped on the scrap-heap of life. What a huge waste.

How We Protect You

Registration

Secure global registration of your commercial concepts, backed by expert guidance, proven templates, and protection systems for
your Comcepts.

Secure Storage

Secure storage creates a documented history of your idea’s development, giving you clear evidence if a dispute goes to court.

Payment Confidence

Top-tier legal support and negotiation services to help you get paid what your idea truly deserves.

Litigation

If someone tries to steal your idea, our substantial legal fund and top global IP litigation firms stand behind you to stop and deter them.

Community

Connect and collaborate with like-minded professionals, and even purchase protected ideas from other members with
full confidence.

More Coming

Members receive access to all future updates and features.

Membership

Membership is available to qualified members of a recognised professional association. Ideas Union membership allows the professional to lodge Comcepts™ into our global registration system, meaning they can then share valuable ideas with confidence, insist on getting paid fairly, and this in turn is expected to help bring many more great ideas to market.

As a member, you gain access to all IU services. Each Comcept™ is at a set fee. Your Comcept™ is supported by a structured record of its creation and disclosures, secure vaulting, and our legal team's enforcement strengthening your negotiations and protecting you if litigation is required.

**A Comcept™ (Commercially Valuable Concept) is any idea, design, strategy, brand positioning, process or other innovation that creates commercial advantage (makes money or saves costs) and that can reasonably be sold or licensed.

Who We Serve: Professionals Only.

We protect those whose professionalism is beyond question. The Ideas Union currently is only open to qualified members of professional associations (or pledge to join a relevant association within six months of registering the Comcept). We make this distinction as members of professional associations come with qualifications, years of experience, and industry-recognised expertise.

To see if your profession is able to apply see here.

Who We Are

Ideas Union was founded in 2025 by a collective of professionals tired of taking business ideas or opportunities to larger players and having valuable Comcepts™ stolen by that company. We decided we'd had enough. Things had to change.

Our Values

Fairness: We aim for outcomes any reasonable person would call fair.
Originality: The originator of a concept deserves a substantial share of the reward/profit.
Mutual Value: Deals work when both sides see value; royalties, flat fees, revenue share, whatever you agree.
Autonomy: Members decide if, how, and to whom you license your Comcept™.
No Agreement = No permission = NO USE.
Privacy by default: Ideas Union won't view your information unless you ask us, or a court requires it.
Professionalism: Ideas Union membership is only open to recognised professionals.
