PROOF is a modern electronic business framework that offers evidence to prove its presence in any medium in an instant in every digital file, including data sets, which have been introduced by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
"It is crucial to prove that you have your intellectual assets' digital files in a highly competitive global economy, where the value is increasingly focused on human activity driven by digital technology and big data," said WIPO Chief Executive Officer Francis Gurry. "WIPO PROOF is a major step in the expansion of the WIPO range of services that meet digital economic demand, allowing innovators and creators to better sustain their digital output."
WIPO PROOF provides a form of digital notary service by producing a date and time-scale fingerprint of a digital file, providing a trustworthy, economical, and productive global service. WIPO PROOF tokens may be purchased at a reasonable cost one by the time or at reduced rates valid for a two-year period in many tokens bundles.
WIPO PROOF tokens may be used to define a prior presence, to avoid misuse and misappropriation, and to protect intellectual properties, regardless of whether they ultimately become formal IP rights at any point of growth, from idea to commercialization.
