Copyright Services

Our Intellectual Asset Management Team uses Etched® to proactively help you secure on the blockchain all of the evidence you need to establish and date stamp claims to copyright and create and manage copyright libraries.   You can either use Etched® yourself, or you can ask us to help you through our IAM The Custodian® services.   If you use Etched® yourself, you can (if you wish) give us viewing rights so that we can flag anything we think needs your attention.

Of course, we also undertake copyright registration in jurisdictions where registration is possible, but note that, even registration of copyright does not circumvent the need for proof of creation and ownership.  Effective self custody is vital.

We also help with copyright enforcement, where, amongst other things, we use Etched® to narrow the field of dispute and help convince counterparties of the merits of your case.
