Brainbase was founded on a strong belief

Idea protection should be accessible to all

IP is more than just a legal term. It's about ideas.

We think protecting your ideas should be simple.

But it isn't. It's expensive, complex, and time-consuming.

We're relentless about changing this - because we're innovators and IP owners ourselves.

So, we built Brainbase: a platform that makes every element of protecting, managing, and monetizing intellectual property friction-free.
