PARTNERS

CIP is charity-governed and industry-informed. We work with law firms, agencies, industry bodies, and academic institutions to build a standard that actually works in practice.

PARTNERSHIP CATEGORIES

GET INVOLVED

We’re building the partnership network now. If your organisation works in creative IP, AI governance, legal services, or creative education, we want to hear from you.

Partnership is open to organisations that share our commitment to making creative IP rights practically exercisable. There’s no fee. We’re looking for expertise, reach, and willingness to contribute to the standard and its tools.

THE STANDARD IS STRONGER TOGETHER.

CIP is built by the people who use it. Partners shape the Standard, test the tools, and ensure the framework works in the real world.
