Ipleft Platform

Gain exposure for your business and intellectual property rights by placing listings on the Ipleft platform. Listing on the Ipleft marketplace highlights your intellectual property assets to our network of entrepreneurs, investors and commercialisation partners who visit our platform everyday and want to connect with intellectual property owners.
Ipleft is a listing platform only. It does not become involved in any transaction involving the intellectual property or business.
List your intellectual property rights or business based on the purpose of the listing, such as to sell or license intellectual property, or to attract a commercialisation partner or equity/investment funding for a business. Listings are limited to the type and country of the intellectual property right or country of the business. Patents, Trademarks, Design Patents, Domain Names and PCTs can be listed in the Ipleft platform for sale. Patents, trademarks, Design Patents and PCTs can be listed for license. IP rich businesses can be advertised for the purpose of seeking investors or commercialisation partners.

The features of each listing are determined by the package type. All listings come with advanced features and tools:

Plans and Subscriptions

The Ipleft marketplace is subscription based. Plans and subscriptions for listings depend on the intellectual property right, purpose of the listing and duration of the listing. Listings are tied to the subscription itself. Meaning that as long as you renew the subscription, the listings will remain active.

Once a subscription is cancelled the listings on that subscription will expire. Subscriptions can be re-activated after expiry and, once re-activated, the listings will be re-published.

If a trial period applies, the subscription will be billed after the trial period unless cancelled within a reasonable period of the end of the trial period.

Promoted Listings

Promoted listings ensure that your listings stand out and are noticed by our community. Promoted listings appear at the top of search results on the Ipleft platform.

How to Promote a Listing: Add a listing. Go to Dashboard > My Listings. Locate the listing you wish to promote. A “Promote” button will appear under each listing. Clicking on the Promote button will open a pop-up with the list of promotion packages available. After you select the promotion package you will be redirected immediately to the Checkout page. Once the order is placed, verified, and completed, the listing will be automatically promoted and given the higher priority in search results. Promoted listings also appear on the home page under "New and Noteworthy" on a rotational basis. You can manage active promotions in User Dashboard > Promotions.

Cancellation and Relisting

When a subscription is cancelled all listings associated with that subscription are unpublished after any pre-paid period. That means if you cancel the subscription but still have a pre-paid component, the listings will continue to be displayed during that pre-paid period. Once the pre-paid period expires, the listings will be unpublished. During the pre-paid period, the subscription will show as "pending cancellation". If you do not want listings to show during the pre-paid period, you need to delete the listing. Deleting the listing will remove it entirely.

Unpublished listings are viewable by clicking the Expired tab under Dashboard > My Listings, or by clicking here.

To reactivate a subscription which is "pending cancellation". Go to Dashboard > My Subscriptions and navigate to the subscription to want to reactivate - it should show as "pending cancellation". Click the View button beside that subscription. Then click the Reactivate button. You will not need to go through the checkout process again to reactivate that subscription.

To re-subscribe to a cancelled subscription (and automatically republish all listings associated with that subscription). Go to Dashboard > My Subscriptions and navigate to the cancelled subscription. Click the View button beside that cancelled subscription. Then click the Resubscribe button. That will take you through the checkout process. Once the checkout process is completed the listings associated with that subscription will be republished.

To republish selected listings only. Go to Dashboard > My Listings and click on the Expired tab. You will see a list of your unpublished listings. Click the Relist button under the unpublished listing you wish to republish. Then select a package for that listing and go through the checkout process. Once the checkout process is completed the listing will be republished under that new subscription.

The only limits to your success are the limits of your own imagination.

Subscription Switching

Our subscription plans are flexible and you can upgrade and downgrade between subscription plans of the same intellectual property type and purpose. A subscription may only be switched if it is active and a gap payment for the difference between plans may be payable. Refunds are not provided for downgraded plans. Rather the downgraded plan has effect from the renewal date of the subscription. You cannot switch subscriptions that are on hold or pending cancellation.
