Pop Mart’s Intellectual Property
Pop Mart, the Chinese designer‑toy maker, is turning its intellectual‑property portfolio into a growth engine, blending licensed characters with a wave of home‑grown brands. While the company holds rights to Marvel, Harry Potter and Disney, the bulk of recent profit stems from internally created lines such as Skullpanda, The Monsters and the viral Labubu keychain, which posted a 700 % revenue jump in a single year. The Labubu craze began when a K‑pop idol displayed the miniature on a bag, sparking a global fan‑driven surge; Pop Mart now plans to extend the brand into an anime series to capture media and merchandise revenues. With a massive cash pile and a self‑sufficient IP slate, Pop Mart can sidestep costly licensing renewals and pursue cross‑platform monetization, positioning it for sustained international expansion.
