Blockchain technology is a useful tool for protecting and enhancing a company's intangible assets, and offers advanced tools for protecting intellectual property and sensitive information.
Using blockchain software and a series of dedicated applications for the intellectual property sector, it is possible to demonstrate, simply and securely, the existence of an IP right or the contents of a document or file on a definite date. The service can be used for software, for material protected by copyright, for packaging, photographs, catalogues, designs or models, know-how, trade secrets, de facto trademarks, proofs of use of trademarks, and contracts. Blockchain creates added value for companies and professionals who work in innovation (designers, artists, inventors, IP attorneys) and bolsters existing tools to protect against crimes committed online, such as counterfeiting, plagiarism and unfair competition, by enabling the owner to acquire definite proof.
How does it work? Using timestamps linked to the blockchain, the service enables you to attest, uniquely and unequivocally, that a certain collection of data (PDFs, documents, images, files or web pages) exists in a certain manner and at a certain point in time, and represents them with a unique digital "fingerprint".
Blockchain technology is fully compatible with and complementary to traditional protection tools, at national and international level.
