Transfer, Assignment & Sale of IP Rights
How the digital chain-of-custody record can be provided to your solicitor or counsel when assigning, licensing, or transferring intellectual property rights. General information, not legal advice.
Licensing & Monetization Protocol
When assigning rights to a publisher, record label, or acquisition company, the buyer requires proof of clean title. You provide the IP Vault Certificate, SHA-256 fingerprint, eIDAS RFC 3161 Qualified Timestamp (.tsr), and Bitcoin OpenTimestamps anchor (.ots) to verify mathematically unassailable priority before money changes hands.
For co-created works (bands, co-writers, software co-founders), IP Vault declarations specify exact percentage ownership splits, ensuring no single co-author can re-license the work without consent.
