08 · FAQ

Frequently asked

The questions teams ask before the first call.

We've never contacted Hasbro — can we start through IPverse?

Yes. Submit your game brief, get the matching report, and the IPverse team advances the first round with the licensor side on your behalf.

How are licensing fees and guarantees structured?

Industry-standard structures combine a fixed fee, revenue share and a minimum guarantee; the mix varies by brand tier, category and territory.

How long does brand review usually take?

A single concept review is typically counted in weeks; the full loop depends on how complete your asset package is.

Can small and mid-size teams get top brands?

Top brands weigh category fit and publishing capability most; emerging genres often have open windows.

Is mainland China licensed separately?

Usually yes — territories are split in the agreement and mainland China is scoped explicitly.

How long can collab content stay in the game?

Commonly a limited-time event window, with evergreen or rerun clauses negotiable.

Does IPverse charge for this?

Browsing the platform is free; matchmaking fees are explained after cooperation is confirmed.

General explanations above do not constitute an offer; specific terms are subject to the agreement signed by both parties.
