IP Licensing & Character Development
Transform licensed characters into premium handcrafted merchandise with confidentiality controls, compliance-ready documentation, and scalable manufacturing for global licensors and IP teams.
*Metrics are based on internal projects across multiple categories; anonymized case references available upon request.
What You Receive
Clear deliverables that help IP teams approve faster: structured intake, prototype standards, and compliance-ready documentation packages.
NDA + Intake Checklist
Style guide, markets, size, materials, expected volume, timelines.
Prototype Photo Standard
Multi-angle photos + scale ruler + Pantone/Color card matching.
Cost Range & BOM Scope
Transparent cost drivers + feasible options to hit target pricing.
Testing Support Pack
Materials/traceability docs + lab coordination for CE/CPC/EN71.
IP → Product Workflow
We act as your IP-to-product execution partner: design translation, sampling, documentation, and scalable manufacturing with controlled confidentiality.
IP Analysis
Guidelines review, feasibility, and market compliance requirements
Design Translation
2D artwork → 3D pattern with accuracy checkpoints
Sample Creation
Rapid prototyping with photo standards & revision cycles
Testing Support
Documentation pack + lab coordination (CE/CPC/EN71)
Scale Production
ISO-managed production + QC checkpoints + packaging
Technical Accuracy
Pattern engineering that preserves character identity and details at scale.
Confidentiality Controls
NDA-first workflow, controlled access, and limited asset exposure by role.
Fast Iteration
Short revision cycles with photo evidence for approvals and audit trails.
Sampling & Development Logic
A systematic sampling strategy reduces rework risk by validating character accuracy, feasibility, and compliance needs before production scaling.
Smart Sampling Strategy
We standardize approvals: multi-angle photos, scale references, and documented revisions to keep licensors, agencies, and procurement aligned.
Character Accuracy Validation
Angle set, proportion checks, and guideline alignment with photo evidence.
Production Feasibility Testing
Construction complexity, durability, and consistency risks evaluated early.
Market-Ready Optimization
Cost drivers, packaging constraints, and target-market requirements considered.
Recommended Intake (for faster approval)
Sampling Timeline
Timeline varies by complexity, number of revisions, and required market testing support.
Design Development
Accurate translation from artwork into physical form with proportion checks, stitch density planning, and material selection.
- Proportion analysis
- Color matching / Pantone
- Construction method selection
Quality Validation
Sample checks cover aesthetic accuracy and manufacturing readiness, reducing risk in the production stage.
- Guideline compliance
- Durability & safety considerations
- Consistency feasibility
Scale Preparation
Production documentation and packaging/labeling requirements are aligned early for smoother launch execution.
- Production spec outline
- Cost driver analysis
- Capacity & delivery planning
Compliance & Confidentiality
Multi-layer IP protection plus compliance-ready documentation to support global market requirements.
IP Protection Framework
NDA-first workflows, controlled access, and clear audit trails for assets and samples.
Global Compliance Support
We support documentation and lab coordination; final certification is issued by authorized labs.

FAQ
Common questions from licensors and IP teams.
Can you sign an NDA before receiving artwork?
Yes. We follow an NDA-first workflow and can proceed with feasibility review using restricted assets once signed.
What is your typical sampling cycle?
First sample is typically 7–15 days. Total sampling to production-ready is commonly 15–22 days depending on complexity and revision rounds.
Do you provide compliance documentation?
We provide materials/traceability documentation and coordinate with authorized labs for CE/CPC/EN71 testing. Final certification is issued by the lab.
How do you protect IP during production?
Controlled asset access by role, secure storage, sampling controls, and clear audit trails on design files and approvals.
