About us
A new standard in the world of service providers, born from expertise
We all agree that the IP industry plays a strategic role in fostering creativity and innovation. Over the past decade, however, the IP software and service sector has undergone rapid change; marked by consolidation and growing digitalisation, reshaping roles, processes, and expectations. As large players emerged, IP professionals increasingly found themselves sidelined, their relationships with clients weakened, and their independence challenged.
iPify was created in 2021 by Patrice, Régis, and Olivier: three IP experts who personally witnessed this shift and its impact on quality of service, strategic focus, and stakeholder trust. They founded iPify with a simple conviction: the future of the IP industry should be shaped by IP professionals, for IP professionals.
As an independent ally, iPify stands free from conflicts of interest and is dedicated to empowering IP professionals, not disrupting them. Our mission is to understand your needs, provide the right tools, and deliver exceptional service that restores human value to the IP ecosystem.
