At PixelPaddle, we recognize that intellectual property (IP) is a cornerstone of innovation and a valuable asset in today’s competitive landscape. This is why we are committed to not only creating cutting-edge technology but also safeguarding our ideas and innovations as we expand into global markets. As part of our ongoing efforts to protect our intellectual property, we are thrilled to be exploring the resources offered by AccelerateIP, a program designed to support startups in BC, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. Led by New Ventures BC in collaboration with Innovate BC, AccelerateIP aims to help innovative companies like ours manage, protect, and leverage their IP through enhanced access to education, skills development, and financial support.
PixelPaddle’s dedication to protecting its intellectual property is evident in our recent achievement: we’ve already secured our Copyright approval from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED). This marks a significant milestone in our journey to safeguard the technology-based interventions that power our Sports Metaverse, particularly in the domain of cricket data analysis and player performance. With our Copyright approval in hand, we demonstrate our seriousness and professionalism in protecting the innovations we bring to the market. However, we’re not stopping there. As we continue to grow and expand our footprint in both local and international markets, including Canada and North America, we are proactively learning how to secure further intellectual property rights and ensure the protection of our creative and technological assets.
The recent session we attended provided crucial insights into how startups like ours can navigate the complexities of intellectual property protection. With the consultation and support of our co-founding members—including Mr. Anjum Khursheed (CFO), Mr. Abubakar (COO), Mr. Yasir Iqbal (CTO)—along with our legal and financial consultants, including our corporate lawyer and CPA, we are excited to pursue further guidance from the AccelerateIP program. We are planning to take full advantage of the one-on-one consultations offered by the program to deepen our understanding of IP registration processes and ensure that we’re eligible to file for additional IP protections that align with our business objectives.
This proactive approach to IP protection will not only fortify the security of our ideas but also elevate PixelPaddle’s reputation as a serious, professional company that is committed to securing its innovations. By doing so, we will continue to build trust with our stakeholders and position ourselves as a leader in the technology space, especially as we work to grow our platform both locally and internationally. The AccelerateIP program represents an invaluable opportunity for PixelPaddle, and we look forward to leveraging its resources to protect and grow our intellectual assets as we move forward in our journey.
