IPCHAIN Database helps you protect creative assets using blockchain technology

Artists may own the rights to their creative work (called copyrights) automatically, but the practical protection of their interests is becoming more and more difficult to safeguard.

In today’s digital age, misappropriation and illegal use of intellectual property, plagiarism and piracy of other people’s work (including but not limited to film, music, art, pictures, 3D models and code), is a reality that has severe consequences for those relying on income from the sale or licensing of such creative content. This means that the need for an effective method, one which ensures the practical protection of copyrights by proving the innovator’s status as first creator of their work, is more important than ever.

The lack of such mechanisms remains a major obstacle in the practical application of copyrights and has led to the inspiration for IPCHAIN Database.

Proof of authorship

For the effective right to control the use of intellectual property (the practical application of copyrights) the artist will have to, in the course of eventual legal proceedings, prove his or her authorship and that he or she created the work in question prior to any other party.

Legal experts know that witness statements and personal records (written documents, correspondence or information stored online and subsequently shared through social media platforms) will be insufficient to prove the author’s status or the date of their work, as this data cannot conclusively be proven not to have been tampered with.

Additionally, publication in the form of exhibitions, fairs, and/or meetings might also fail to establish definitive proof in a court of law.

Shared database

IPCHAIN Database on the other hand ensures indisputable proof of authorship as information stored on a blockchain exists as a shared database hosted by potentially millions of computers. This guarantees that all stored information is publicly accessible and easily verifiable, without the risk of a centralized version of this information being hacked or otherwise corrupted.

IPCHAIN Database thus offers the easiest and most secure way of establishing proof of authorship via online publication.
