Abstract
Homotopy is a new non-linear science with vast applications throughout information technology. Monolith has taken on the role of promoting this new technology from the level of theory to a level from which practical applications can be developed. In order to maintain contact with both researchers and business, Monolith has developed a business model in which Monolith will not market commercial products itself but will obtain funding largely through the licensing of intellectual property. Monolith´s IP strategy focuses on obtaining broad fundamental IP rights and then broadly licensing those rights on reasonable terms to create standards. In this way, the licensing revenue will provide on-going funding for research and researchers can focus on their research rather than on the business of getting funding
