Highlights

• ClicknClear, a UK-based copyright tech firm, wins WIPO Global Award

• Recognized for IP-driven solutions in sports and performing arts sectors

• Strategic use of copyright protections propels global impact in creative industries

ClicknClear, a UK-based technology firm operating within the copyright and digital rights sector, has been named one of the global recipients of the World Intellectual Property Organization's prestigious Global Awards. The recognition places the company in focus alongside innovators contributing to economic and social progress through intellectual property. While headquartered in the United Kingdom, the company’s technological and licensing frameworks are of increasing relevance to stakeholders tracking the S&P/TSX Composite Index and related Canadian indices given the cross-border nature of copyright law and the integration of global content markets.

The WIPO Global Awards aim to spotlight small and medium-sized enterprises that successfully harness intellectual property to drive innovation. ClicknClear stood out from a global applicant pool with its specialized services that address music copyright compliance within sports and performance routines. Its platform facilitates legally licensed music access for organizations in need of synchronized content, offering a streamlined solution to the long-standing issue of infringement and rights clarity.

Music Licensing and Copyright Tech for Performance Sectors

ClicknClear’s solution targets a high-need space within the performing arts and competitive sports industries, where music synchronization often occurs without proper licensing. The firm provides a digital platform that bridges rights holders, music publishers, and end users, ensuring compliance while preserving artistic integrity and creator compensation. The service supports choreography-dependent fields such as cheerleading, figure skating, dance, and gymnastics, where the proper use of licensed music is critical but often overlooked due to legal complexities.

By integrating licensing directly into the performance workflow, the company eliminates the risks and inefficiencies typically associated with music use in public routines. The scalability and automation of the platform enable widespread adoption, even by grassroots organizations, without compromising on legal standards. ClicknClear’s approach is anchored in an ethical framework that reinforces the importance of fair compensation for creators.

Recognition for Strategic IP Use and Industry Transformation

At the WIPO General Assemblies in Geneva, where over a thousand international delegates gathered, ClicknClear’s efforts were spotlighted for their strategic IP alignment. The award emphasized the company’s success in building a globally scalable model based on robust intellectual property management. The selection committee highlighted the solution’s contribution to wider issues in the creative economy, such as unauthorized content use and rights enforcement.

CEO Chantal Epp accepted the award and shared insights into the company’s journey, underscoring the importance of early-stage IP integration in building long-term value. By developing a platform grounded in legal compliance and usability, ClicknClear has created a model that serves both commercial and cultural interests.

Expanding Visibility Through Global IP Networks

As part of the award, ClicknClear gains access to a suite of strategic support services offered by WIPO. These include visibility across international innovation ecosystems, mentoring from IP professionals, and connections to business networks supporting growth and compliance on a global scale. This development positions the company to further influence copyright practices across regions that increasingly rely on digital tools for content distribution and synchronization.

The acknowledgment by WIPO marks a significant step forward for copyright-focused technology ventures. It also serves as a model for companies navigating the intersection of creativity, legal infrastructure, and digital transformation, especially in sectors where performance and intellectual content converge.
