Intellectual Property Securities Corporation (IPSE), led by Founder and President Marc Deschenaux, has reached a major milestone in its journey to revolutionize intellectual property (IP) financing. At a press conference held in New York City, IPSE announced a significant distribution agreement with Market Street Capital and Pickwick Capital Partners, LLC. This $25 million private equity offering marks a key step in IPSE’s ongoing efforts to create a new asset class by securitizing intellectual property, thereby unlocking liquidity for IP holders and opening new investment opportunities.
The distribution agreement, which will be facilitated in the U.S., involves Market Street Capital, led by Principal Stan Abiassi, and Pickwick Capital Partners, LLC, a broker-dealer member of FINRA and SIPC. The partnership aims to make IP assets—such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual properties—tradable in a structured, regulated marketplace.
Stan Abiassi, CEO of Market Street Capital, shared his thoughts on the partnership: “I am thrilled to be part of this groundbreaking initiative with IPSE. The ability to bring intellectual property securities to the market represents a significant evolution in financial innovation. At Market Street Capital, we are committed to supporting innovative solutions that provide investors with access to new asset classes in a transparent and structured manner. This equity distribution agreement is a major step in unlocking liquidity for intellectual property owners.”
With this agreement, IPSE is set to position its stock price at $2.50 per share, setting the company’s valuation at an impressive $250 million pre-IPO. The newly secured funds will help IPSE expand its operations and further develop its proprietary platform, Securitizor, which is designed to enable the securitization of IP assets and transform how intellectual property is financed globally.
Marc Deschenaux, Founder and President of IPSE, emphasized the long-term vision behind the company’s work: “The world has long recognized the immense value of intellectual property, yet traditional financial markets have lacked a structured mechanism to fully capitalize on its potential. Our mission at IPSE is to provide such a mechanism through direct securitization, which removes the need for a company or any entity. We are establishing a standardized, transparent, and efficient marketplace for IP securities and real-world assets such as carbon credits out of the corporate world.”
Founded in 2014, IPSE is the culmination of a vision first introduced by Marc Deschenaux in 1998 when he established the World Intellectual Property Securities Exchange Corporation (WIPSEC). The original idea behind WIPSEC was to create a marketplace where IP rights could be traded as securities, providing investors with access to a new asset class. While the concept was ahead of its time, and traditional financial institutions were slow to recognize the value of such an exchange, IPSE has now emerged to realize this vision by developing the tools and mechanisms necessary for IP to be securitized and traded on financial markets.
With offices in Geneva, New York, and Los Angeles, IPSE’s team brings together expertise in financial law, securities law, and intellectual property. Marc Deschenaux, Philippe Froehlicher, and Richard Ormond, the founders of IPSE, are united by their belief that IP securitization will empower creators and innovators by allowing them to unlock the financial value of their intellectual property assets without sacrificing ownership or relying on traditional financing mechanisms.
The core innovation behind IPSE’s model is the ability to securitize intellectual property rights—such as patents, trademarks, and copyrights—allowing them to be traded as securities in the financial markets. This provides IP holders with a powerful new tool to monetize their assets without needing to sell them outright, while also offering investors a new class of asset-backed securities that have historically been inaccessible.
Christian Frampton, CEO of IPSE, explained the broader impact of their innovation: “With the rapid advancements in technology and the creative industries, intellectual property has become one of the most valuable asset classes globally. However, it remains largely underutilized due to market inefficiencies. IPSE is here to change that.”
The process of securitizing IP assets creates new investment opportunities for both institutional and individual investors by making IP rights tradable in an efficient and transparent marketplace. IPSE’s platform, Securitizor, is central to this vision. The platform facilitates the securitization of IP assets, making it easier for IP owners to access capital while providing investors with a regulated and transparent way to trade these securities.
Steven Antebi, IPSE’s CFO, highlighted the financial implications of this new market: “By bridging the gap between intellectual property and capital markets, we are unlocking new frontiers of real-world asset-backed securities. This includes pharma patents and carbon credits, expanding the scope of assets that can be securitized. This is not just an opportunity for IP owners; it’s a paradigm shift in how intellectual property and real-world assets are recognized, valued, and traded in global markets.”
Dourgam Kummer, IPSE’s CAO, pointed to the operational benefits of the $25 million equity distribution: “With this capital injection, we can accelerate the development and deployment of Securitizor, ensuring that our platform operates with the highest level of efficiency and regulatory compliance. This is a significant step toward establishing intellectual property as a fully recognized and liquid asset class.”
One of the key advantages of IPSE’s approach is the security and transparency it brings to the marketplace. The company ensures that IP rights are thoroughly analyzed before being securitized, minimizing the risks for investors and IP holders alike. Moreover, IPSE’s system provides a high degree of transparency by making information about IP securities available to investors, while also protecting the identity of IP rights holders.
Larry Namer, founder of E! Entertainment Television and a board member of IPSE, shared his perspective on the platform’s impact, particularly within the media industry: “As someone who has spent decades in business administration, I understand the challenges content creators face in securing financing. IPSE’s platform is a game-changer, providing a much-needed financial ecosystem where intellectual property can be properly valued and monetized. This distribution by Market Street Capital validates the importance and potential of what we’re building.”
As IPSE moves forward, the company continues to engage with regulatory bodies, financial institutions, and intellectual property owners to ensure that Securitizor is seamlessly integrated into the global financial ecosystem. The successful launch of the platform and its subsequent growth will pave the way for IP to be recognized as a fully liquid asset class, enabling creators, inventors, and innovators to unlock the full financial potential of their intellectual property.
