The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC) is a reality television and documentary production company based in Van Nuys, California founded by Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman in 2016. IPC was owned by Sony Pictures Television through their Nonfiction division, formerly known as Industrial Media, from 2018 to 2026, before returning to being an independent company.
History IPC was founded in 2016 by producers Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman, and funded via private equity from three investors and former collaborators Sheldon Yellen, David J. Adelman, and Michael G. Rubin. IPC develops and produces a wide range of television, film, documentary, and interactive mobile content. IPC is known for series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, as well as series including HBO's We're Here, the YouTube Originals feature documentary This Is Paris starring Paris Hilton and Mind Field, Selena Gomez's HBO Max series Selena+Chef, the Netflix series Indian Matchmaking, Showtime's docuseries Active Shooter: America Under Fire, and Free Meek and The Last Narc for Amazon Prime Video.
In August 2018, IPC was acquired by Core Media and relaunched the studio as Industrial Media. IPC has been recognized as one of the top 100 unscripted production companies globally by Realscreen, and has received nominations and/or won Primetime Emmy Awards, PGA Awards, and News and Documentary Emmy Awards for its diverse slate of programming. Its founders, Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman, were recognized by The Hollywood Reporter as "Top 10" members of "Reality TV's Ruling Class" in 2017, with Holzman having previously created series including Project Greenlight and Project Runway, and the duo having produced Undercover Boss.
In October 2023, Nile Cappello's production company Yes, Like the River signed an overall deal with The Intellectual Property Corporation.
