IP Octopus
Every brand asset on record.Every infringement on file.
One platform for brand defence. M1 holds your rights, the intelligence around them and the dashboards leadership acts on; M2 runs the enforcement cases, evidence and business partners that act on that intelligence.
One platform, two modules.
Use them together or on their own. Each module has its own page with its capabilities, security, rollout and the BDI services connected to it.
M1Every brand asset on record. Every trend on one dashboard.
The repository and analytics module of IP Octopus: one governed record of your trademarks, designs and copyrights, the market intelligence around them, and the dashboards your legal, brand and leadership teams act on.

Questions buyers ask us.
How is M1 different from M2?
M1 is the repository and analytics layer: your rights, monitoring and dashboards. M2 manages the work: enforcement cases, evidence and business partners.
Can BDI populate the register for us?
Yes. BDI teams load your portfolio and keep it current as part of the managed service.
Can M2 run without M1?
Yes, though most clients use both: M1 holds the rights and intelligence, M2 the cases and partners that act on them.
Does BDI run the enforcement?
BDI's IPR & Brand Protection practice can run surveys, test purchases, raids and takedowns, all logged to M2.
