Covers 12 months membership from day of joining. (IU recognises large companies own commercial ideas which are sometimes stolen by partners or ex-employees.)
This membership allows for global registration, storage of commercial information and ‘free’ (@25% of ‘win’) negotiation services, but does not cover legal expenses in case of dispute. (Logic being that a company /department of size can afford their own legals.) So IU enables those who own the idea to defend their asset.
