Using a Member’s idea without permission or fair payment activates our enforcement process. This may include:
Corporate and personal litigation
Significant financial penalties
Formal actions to halt unauthorised commercial activity
Ideas Union exists to ensure innovation is respected—and misuse is never ignored.
Our Members are proven professionals drawn from leading industries. Their ideas carry real commercial value because they come from people with demonstrable skill, experience, and track records of delivering results. When a Member brings forward a Comcept™, it is not speculation, it is grounded, actionable commercial thinking.
Ideas Union oversees the secure registration, record-keeping, and protection of every submitted concept. This prevents any unauthorised use before commercialisation and ensures all interactions are documented, time-stamped, and legally enforceable. Companies can review ideas with confidence, knowing they are dealing with a regulated, transparent system.
Simply speaking with or evaluating a Member’s idea does not obligate you to buy, license, or pay anything. You remain free to walk away unless both parties agree otherwise.
If you decide to proceed with a Member’s idea, you may work together to create a commercial structure that suits both sides. Options include:
A direct fee for use of the idea
A royalty or performance-based arrangement
Any other mutually beneficial commercial agreement
Our role is to ensure the negotiation is fair, transparent, and grounded in the documented value of the idea.
