Welcome to IP100. Launched from the UK in 2016, expanded into the US and Canada, and now recognized as the leading global intellectual property (IP) league.
The IP100 is a ranking of companies based on a rating of their IP asset strength and track record in exploiting IP, using our proprietary IPSCORETM.
IPSCORETM is an assessment across five IP asset classes: Brand & Reputation, Software, Patents, Trade Secrets and Critical Databases. The IP100 research team uses its proprietary process to calculate both the IPSCORETM and subsequent ranking for each company.
The top-scoring companies are published in a Dynamic IP League Table (see below), an annual ranking of businesses which are considered to be the most effective at exploiting their IP assets.
“The IP100 has helped us secure a £10m plus valuation as we have worked hard to become an IP rich business. We’ve proudly featured in the IP100 since 2016 and through entering have identified areas to improve our IP management. I have been impressed by the difference focusing on IP, especially trade secrets, has made to the organization. Protecting and managing Digitonic’s IP is a critical part of our operations as it can mean the difference between success or failure.”
Grant Fraser, Managing Director, Digitonic
Who Can Enter IP100?
The IP100 is open to all businesses.
Why Should You Enter?
The IP100 will provide a platform for gaining recognition for the investment you have made in IP, whether you are using this to:
- Secure debt funding using valuable IP as collateral
- Attract equity investment at the highest valuation with increased recognition of your IP assets
- Exit on higher multiples by demonstrating how the business relies on these critical IP assets
- Get recognized for your investment in innovation
- Use your IPSCORETM as your ‘IP quality accreditation’
IP also plays an important role in transforming funding options available to your company, as IP assets can now be used to raise finance, realize value on the balance sheet, and restructure debt.
The IP100 team is pleased to announce that following a period of growth, we will be increasing investment in the IP100 and the new Dynamic IP League Table, which will benefit both existing and new entrants. As a result, we have introduced a modest fee for the IPSCORETM.
“We are committed to the IP100 delivering a net benefit to IP-rich companies and so the cost will be less than the annual cost of decent home broadband service! I think it’s a small investment to secure your IPSCORETM and the benefits far outweigh the cost.”
– Stephen Robertson, Founder IP100.
The fee for new entrants is $995 or £750 + VAT. We offer a 25% discount for subsequent rescores.

The Dynamic IP League Table is a regularly updated benchmark for IP-rich companies to gain recognition for the strength of their IP assets. The current rankings represent the performance and position of the top 75 IP100 entrants at present* and therefore may change as we continue to score new entrants. The latest Dynamic IP League Table Top 75 is shown below:
