WIPO PROOF \u2013 a new business service that provides evidence of an intellectual asset’s existence<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

WIPO last month introduced a new business service that provides evidence of an intellectual asset’s existence. WIPO PROOF is an easy-to-use global, online service that rapidly generates tamper-proof evidence proving that a digital file existed at a specific point in time, and that it has not been altered since that time.<\/span><\/p>\n

WIPO PROOF tokens can be used to establish prior existence, helping prevent misuse and misappropriation, and can be useful in safeguarding intellectual assets at every stage of development from concept to commercialization, whether or not they eventually become formal IP rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

WIPO PROOF can be accessed here<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
