Let's say you're a corporate trainer. At the end of your workshop, you send your deck to your students, only to discover they copy your materials. Worst of all you discover your client shared your slides with everybody in the company across their intranet, or has even created an online course drawing on your curriculum for the corporate LMS platform.
When using the PitchMark® platform, you have the autonomy to define the specific terms under which a client can use your work. These criteria are captured directly on the PitchMark® certificate, creating an official and indelible record of the agreement.
Under normal circumstances, the person you are pitching to is under no obligation to buy or use your certificate. But if a client refuses to pay the licensing fee but still uses your idea, the PitchMark® certificate serves as a critical layer of defence by providing indelible documentary evidence of your ownership and the terms offered.
If a prospect objects to your inclusion of a PitchMark® certificate, it typically leads to one of two outcomes: it either initiates a necessary conversation about Intellectual Property (IP) rights, or serves as a warning sign about the client's intentions.
There is no cost to sign up with PitchMark®, and no charge for generating PitchMark® certificates.
The PitchMark® IP Governance Certification is a specialised program designed for the client side—the companies and agencies that receive pitches—to formalise how they handle third-party Intellectual Property.
The public pitch feed, located on the homepage of the PitchMark® website, acts as a public record of pitching activity designed to create transparency and deter idea theft. While it makes the transaction visible to the community, it is structured to protect the actual content of the idea.
