LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY TO PROTECT INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Blockchains is a technology that offers a way to substantiate ownership and priority without having to rely on institutions that set their own terms. They do not require the use of middlemen like trademark offices, large banking institutions, or even notaries. As a result, they can be used as a way to register digital works, contracts, images, etc.

Most people have heard of the crypto-currency Bitcoin. It has made headlines due to its dramatically-fluctuating value. Bitcoin, and other crypto currencies, exist using the blockchain technology. However, cryptocurrencies are not the only use cases of the blockchain technology in the marketplace. Recent innovations have made it possible to actually build applications that are blockchain-based and can be utilized in an array of business sectors. For example, these applications can be utilized for a variety of transactions such as real estate agreements, oil and gas purchases, and so forth.

There are also serious implications for intellectual property rights. For intellectual property, blockchain technology is creating new opportunities for protection.

REGISTRY FOR INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY

Registry for Intellectual Property

Blockchain technology utilizes innovative time-stamping schemes that enhance the security of intellectual property records and related assets. Brands can leverage this to prove ownership of intellectual property or settle challenges and disputes. Documenting every step of your brand’s IP on the blockchain is not only cost effective, but it will prove useful when dealing with clients, customers, competitors, partners, employees, and in licensing among other instances.

IMPROVED AUTHENTICATION WITH BLOCKCHAIN

Blockchain Authentication

A multitude of blockchain applications can improve the detection of counterfeit or fake consumer goods (e.g. clothing, cell phones, watches, diamonds, etc.). 

The developing applications allow a company to better track and authenticate the goods they create and sell to the open market.

ENHANCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CONTRACTS

Enhancement of IP Contracts

Company contracts and records can be enhanced through “Smart Contracts” and related records in the event of an IP sale, transfer or assignment. 

This could help improve the reliability of IP record and benefit the owners of intellectual property.

What is blockchain

More Info About Blockchain Protection Services

What is Blockchain?

Blockchain Technology, in its simplest definition, is a secure, distributed database used to record transactions. The blockchain is a decentralized public record of all transactions that have taken place with regard to a digital item. It is so difficult to falsify or tamper with the blockchain records of a digital item of property that hardly any entity that exists, be it a superpower country or mega-corporation, has the computer power to do it.

What is Blockchain technology currently being used for?

Blockchain is currently being used in various industries such as banking, real estate, health and legal.

How can Blockchain technology help in the protection of IP?

Registering a trademark takes time because the United States Patent and Trademark Office must verify the originality of the intellectual property the prospective trademark holder is trying to register. Meanwhile, it is risky for the inventor of the brand name, slogan, or other trademark-worthy idea to begin using it commercially before the trademark becomes official.  Registering a patent takes even longer because of all the painstaking research involved on the part of the applicant and the patent examiner. After the process is finished, the patent or trademark is only valid in one country. Businesses that want to use the invention or idea in another country must repeat the process in the next country; the whole process can take years.

Because blockchain ledgers cannot be retroactively altered, they are ideal for:

Proving when a work was first created and used

Tracking subsequent use and distribution

Registering works to preserve IP rights

Managing online sales of digital works

Transmitting payments to IP owners for use

Blockchain technology can show, in real time, everyone who has interacted with a piece of intellectual property and the context in which they have interacted with it. Unlike the traditional system of registering and protecting IP, this blockchain ledger would give IP owners the ability to track and prove the full lifecycle of a work: when the work was first created, when it was used in trade, and when it was registered, when it was licensed, sold, assigned, etc.

Does registering IP on the blockchain replace the USPTO, US Copyright Office and other governing registries?

Registering intellectual property on the Blockchain does not replace the traditional methods of registration using authoritative registries such as the USPTO or the US Copyright Office. However, as the popularity of blockchain continues to grow, more and more governmental agencies are getting involved…stay tuned.

What type of intellectual property can I protect on the Blockchain?

Any proprietary asset that can be put in digital format can be protected on the Blockchain. These include: Marks for products and services, Logos, Lists, Marketing plans, Data sets, Inventions, Notes, Prototype Specs, Blueprints, Architectural drawings, Contractual Agreements, and Copyrightable work such as books, photographs, music, and many more.
