Companies should pay for your ideas if they want to use them.
Companies should pay for your ideas if they want to use them.
Ideas Union was founded in 2025 by professionals who were tired of having their commercial concepts taken by bigger players. Our mission is simple: level the playing field. We envision a world where every creator’s ownership is respected, not because they’re wealthy, but because they now have the legal power to enforce it.
We are committed to the strength of a principled, reputable organisation built to empower its members and uphold high professional standards.
Our Board
Ideas Union is guided by an advisory board of experienced professionals, including lawyers, trademark specialists, PR experts, engineers, scientists, directors, HR leaders, researchers and marketers. All are recognised members of their respective professional associations, many having held board or chair positions.
We stay anonymous to avoid being targeted by the same companies we challenge on behalf of our members. This protects our ability to act quickly, effectively, and without distraction.
How We Stay Independent
Ideas Union is entirely member-funded. Our shared legal fund operates through a secure blockchain system held in a stable jurisdiction, deliberately insulated from litigation tactics. This ensures we can continue defending our members’ rights for years to come.
We are here to stop companies stealing your valuable ideas. Intellectual property theft is not a niche grievance. It is a systemic, global crisis that disproportionately affects qualified professionals whose livelihoods depend on original thinking.
So many professionals routinely present concepts to prospective clients, partners, and financiers, only to see those ideas implemented (effectively stolen) without attribution or compensation.
In fact, according to recently commissioned research, 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!
Ideas Union is here to fix that. Don’t throw away a brilliant idea. Protect it. If it’s stolen, it needs to be paid for. And if compensation can’t be reached, Ideas Union will negotiate and/or sue so the perpetrators pay, or they go to jail, or possibly both (the company may pay to solve being sued, but the staff member who stole the concept may still go to jail for theft, fraud, destruction of evidence, perjury etc).
Fairness: Every outcome should feel fair to any reasonable person.
Originality: If you created the idea, you deserve a meaningful share of the reward.
Mutual Value: Deals work when both sides win; whether through royalties, flat fees, or revenue share.
Autonomy: Members choose if, how, and who can use their Comcept. No permission = no use.
Privacy: We don’t access your information unless you ask us to or a court requires it.
Professionalism: Membership is reserved for recognised, proven professionals.
Legal battles are usually won by whoever has the deepest pockets. Generally, that means larger companies usually win. Ideas Union flips this power dynamic.
We pool our membership funds to fight and win on behalf of our members. When your ownership claim is valid, we protect it relentlessly and ensure larger, wealthier companies must pay to use your concept.
Ideas Union can invest millions in legal action if required. There is no cap on what we will spend to win a case for a member.
If we ever lose a rare case and damages are awarded, the membership fund covers it, never you personally.
To keep the system strong and sustainable, Ideas Union retains 25% of member wins in jurisdictions where this is permitted.
