One Story. A Wider World.
A Swiss company that owns, protects, and develops original intellectual property for international markets.
Who We Are
The PropertyComes First.
An Owner-Led IP Model.
Podbiz develops intellectual property from a position of ownership and control rather than acting as an intermediary.
Creative, legal, and commercial decisions remain coordinated within a single framework as each property advances.
Capabilities
What We Do
- 01
IP Origination & Acquisition
Original properties developed in-house, with select third-party IP considered for acquisition.
- 02
Rights Management & Governance
Centralized administration keeps rights, territories, terms, and obligations clear.
- 03
Protection & Registration
Protection and registration are coordinated in the territories relevant to each property.
- 04
Development & Market Positioning
Development materials and positioning are prepared before market engagement.
- 05
Licensing & Strategic Partnerships
Licensing is structured around the property, territory, format, and partner.
- 06
Cross-Media & Franchise Development
Expansion beyond a single format only when the underlying story supports it.
How We Think
From Creative Development to Asset Management.
Development follows a sequence, not a preset destination.
The work determines the path.
Each stage answers a different question: what the property is, what it needs, when it is market-ready, and which path best fits it.
