ClicknClear Wins 2025 WIPO Global Award Honoured by the UN’s Intellectual Property Agency for Innovation with Global Impact

GENEVA, July 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — ClicknClear, a UK-based copyright technology platform, has been named one of ten global winners of the 2025 WIPO Global Awards, a prestigious initiative of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the United Nations agency dedicated to IP innovation and creativity. The award distinguishes startups and SMEs that have successfully leveraged IP to transform their innovations into tangible economic and social impact.

Selected from a highly competitive pool of more than 780 applicants across 95 countries, ClicknClear was recognized for its work in solving the complex copyright challenges faced by sports and performing arts where music is used to accompany their routines – a solution that provides the content and tools needed to address copyright infringement to protect both the users of music and its creators – and for demonstrating a clear and strategic use of IP to scale its solution and contribute to addressing pressing global challenges.

“This award is more than a trophy, it’s a reminder that our ideas and solutions can create real change across the world,” said Chantal Epp, Founder & CEO of UK-based ClicknClear. “We’re proud to be able to demonstrate that smart IP use, and doing things the right way from the outset, can fuel innovation that serves people in an impactful way.”    

The awards were presented during the WIPO General Assemblies at WIPO headquarters in Geneva, where over 1,400 delegates, including representatives from WIPO’s 193 member states, international organizations, and innovation experts gathered to discuss the future of innovation and IP. As a winner, ClicknClear will benefit from a tailored support package that includes strategic mentoring, global visibility, and access to WIPO’s international network of IP and business partners.

“The winners of the 2025 Global Awards are not just inventive, they are strategic, impact-driven, and globally minded,” said Marcelo Di Pietro, Director of the WIPO Awards Program. “We’re proud to support their journey.”

With the visibility and support provided by the WIPO Global Awards, ClicknClear plans to further roll out and extend its solution across its partner sports and performing arts organizations. The team is currently working with lead customers to launch its next-generation technology that expands support to include the world’s first blanket music licensing system for Video-on-Demand services, and welcomes collaboration opportunities with such services.
