COLLETRIX - Revolutionizing The IP Industry Via Tokenization
PREAMBLE
A storm has hit the investment market which we are not going to recover from. Crypto investment is that storm. With strict capital controls in place by most countries to control the flow of money and charge high taxes, cryptocurrency gained usage in circumventing capital controls and taxes, leading to an increase in demand. Cryptocurrency has been able to present an easy to use digital alternative to fiat currencies. Offering frictionless transactions and inflation control, investors have been prudent enough to add these currencies in their diversified portfolios as an asset, as the size of the market does not represent a systemic risk. Cryptocurrency employs the use of cryptography that assures high-security processes and verifies transactions personal to each user. Hence, counterfeiting and anonymous transactions are impossible to achieve.
While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, "Project Colletrix" introduces one of the world’s first nonfungible tokens (the “NFT”) that is aimed to be associated with the intellectual property (“IP”) of designs of physical merchandises.
"Blockchain technology is claimed to be and perceived as one of the revolutionary technologies that will have an enormous impact on our lives in the forthcoming years and decades. The legal questions surrounding blockchain appear to be among the most controversial issues surrounding this novel technology, which create uncertainties as to the scope and speed of its eventual adoption.
The technological advancements offered by blockchain promise wide ranges of use in a variety of sectors and legal areas, including intellectual property (IP) law. This article will focus secondarily on the possible opportunities that blockchain may offer with respect to the future of intellectual property (IP) and discuss its potential impact on the registration, management and enforcement of intellectual property rights."
With that being said, Colletrix aims to revolutionize the ownership of IP by introducing protection and perpetual value for IP owners through tokenization, while providing merchandisers and consumers with trust in the authenticity of their purchased products.

How it works?
Colletrix uses blockchain technology to protect intellectual property (IP) creators and verify the authenticity of merchandise collectibles.
Original IP creators typically lose out when their IP gets transferred or sold. Consumers still need to verify collectibles they buy using archaic methods.
Colletrix grants artists the power to tokenize their IP into a digital asset, allowing them to better protect their IP each time the token is traded. Consumers can verify the authenticity of their collectibles via token information stored on the blockchain.
IP Creators
Get their work tokenized as a digital asset, and protected on the blockchain. They can trace each sale of their IP token and earn licensing fees from each sale for perpetuity.
Consumers
Verify that their collectible is real, and support their artists via trading of their tokens on the Colletrix Marketplace.
Merchandisers
The ability to create more business opportunities through working closely with IP owners. Merchandisers can also draw in more customers from the artist and crypto-gaming communities.
About The CIPX Tokenomics
Colletrix will be issuing its very own ecosystem ERC-20 token, the Colletrix Token (“CIPX”). Uses include:
Crypto-exclusive special edition merchandise purchasing
Marketplace trading
NFT priority purchasing
Platform payment
ERC-721
Colletrix uses the ERC-721 protocol for its non-fungible token (NFT). Each NFT represents a unique IP. The ERC-721 tokens are visible on the Ethereum blockchain, one of the largest public chains in the world.
Blockchain
Blockchain is a cryptographic tech solution with low costs, high security, decentralization and no trust involved. With NFT information and transfer records immutable and transparent on the blockchain, everyone can freely track data and rest assured knowing they are untampered with.
Ethereum Smart Contract
The Ethereum blockchain enables smart contracts, which can store important information about a digital asset as well as allow automatic executions based on if-then conditions coded into the contract. With smart contracts, we can set limits on the number of times an IP NFT can be made into merchandise, and also ensure that original IP owners get a licensing fee from each NFT trade.
Token Details
Colletrix will issue its own ecosystem token, Colletrix Token (CIPX). CIPX is a cryptocurrency that is supported by the Ethereum network with the ERC-20 standard. Therefore, all records related to CIPX can be seen using the Ethereum browser.
