These criteria are captured directly on the PitchMark® certificate, creating an official and indelible record of the agreement. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-licensing-parameters-are-available-125321?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-licensing-parameters-are-available-125321?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 17:15:44 +0800 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. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-happens-if-the-client-refuses-to-pay-for-the-idea-125323?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-happens-if-the-client-refuses-to-pay-for-the-idea-125323?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 17:08:01 +0800 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. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-if-my-prospect-reacts-negatively-to-my-pitchmark-r-certificate-125322?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-if-my-prospect-reacts-negatively-to-my-pitchmark-r-certificate-125322?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:50:33 +0800 There is no cost to sign up with PitchMark®, and no charge for generating PitchMark® certificates. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/how-much-does-it-cost-to-pitchmark-r-my-documents-and-to-sell-the-idea-125324?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/how-much-does-it-cost-to-pitchmark-r-my-documents-and-to-sell-the-idea-125324?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:44:30 +0800 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. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-pitchmark-r-ip-governance-certification-program-about-125318?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-pitchmark-r-ip-governance-certification-program-about-125318?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:22:17 +0800 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. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-pitchmark-r-pitchfeed-for-125316?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-pitchmark-r-pitchfeed-for-125316?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:14:19 +0800 PitchMarking differs from traditional copyright and Non-Disclosure Agreements by focusing on active deterrence and formalized evidence rather than just legal recourse after a theft has occurred. While traditional laws such as copyright, trademarks, and patents exist, they often fail to fully protect ideas, especially in the early informal stages of a pitch. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/why-pitchmark-r-when-i-can-sign-an-nda-or-rely-on-the-law-125266?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/why-pitchmark-r-when-i-can-sign-an-nda-or-rely-on-the-law-125266?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:05:32 +0800 Creators have the autonomy to set their own prices for their licenses, as PitchMark® does not dictate specific fees. Creators should negotiate this with their prospects. However, here are some ideas for how innovators can determine the right price. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/how-much-should-we-charge-for-our-ideas-125265?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/how-much-should-we-charge-for-our-ideas-125265?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sat, 18 Apr 2026 16:01:06 +0800 Six things to know: How creators can monetise their pitches by selling them the rights to an idea even if they are not hired for the full production.

Rather than relying on new legal layers, it focuses on prevention and transparency. https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-pitchmark-r-certificate-125263?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news https://news.pitchmark.net/blog_posts/what-is-the-purpose-of-the-pitchmark-r-certificate-125263?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=Subscription&utm_content=current_news PitchMark Sun, 12 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0800 As a videographer you send your storyboard to your prospect, only to discover your video on YouTube, Instagram or TikTok: they got someone else to produce your video.
