Global Partnership Marketplace Negosh, and Podqi, the AI platform for Brand Protection, partner up to further their missions of democratising and protecting the licensing industry.

Podqi, the one automated platform for IP protection and Negosh, the leading licensing solution for unlocking new revenue streams and expanding markets, today announced a new strategic partnership.

Through the partnership, Negosh will provide negotiation services between the brand owners on Podqi and their potential counterfeiters so that Podqi customers can benefit from converting infringers to legal licensees. With over 400 licensees on the Negosh platform, covering over 30 product categories and all regions, Podqi customers can of course also find new licensing partners to further grow their business. 

Negosh customers can choose to join the Podqi platform and automate the IP protection and takedown processes of any infringements against their IPs. 

Trevor West Podqi CEO states “Ari, Dylan, and the Negosh team play an important and unique role connecting the international licensing industry in a way that creates wins for everyone. We’re proud to partner with them and continue our shared mission.”

Ari Zebersky Negosh CEO adds “We’re delighted to support Podqi customers in finding the right licensing partners to grow their business and for the brands on our platform to be able to access Podqi’s dashboard to track infringements and automate takedowns.”
