IP opportunity

IP opportunity statement 

My IP opportunity is the combination of diesel punk and un-manned military vehicles around a 1940's setting

IP justification


I have chosen this IP because Robots as replacements for humans have been very popular in modern culture as proven by movies such as Wall-E. As the progression of technology from wars advanced through time, my research has shown that the weapons used to fight the wars have constantly changed over the generations. From sabres to flintlock pistols, from firearms to tanks, and from tanks to un-manned vehicles and into the future of robots as my research has shown.

The reason this is marketable is the constant media reference to wars, in past, present and horizon, all of my research led to wars as a popular and profitable choice of media, especially WW2. There are countless war based games, let alone games based on WW2 as well as movies and books. Plastic army men are one of the most iconic boys toys as are action men and other war based tanks so a market will always be available for any form of media.

As discussed in my research, dieselpunk also shares a lot of styles with WW2 and shares a lot of similarities with steampunk, an already incredibly popular style and culture. Because steampunk is based on obsolete technology and as my research shows that diesel power is becoming more and more obsolete, so this trend will grow, and so too will the popularity of dieselpunk. The marketability of this "punk" genre is backed up by the massive fan base that dieselpunk and the other punk genres already have as well as all the products and media that go along with them.

The combination of dieselpunk with un-manned Military robots is a very marketable IP, appealing to a wide audience that will only grow more popular as diesel as a fuel becomes more obsolete.
