What is RICH and how do you protect my data and copyrights?

RICH is a platform that instantly protects your data and intellectual property leveraging blockchain technology. We create immutable timestamps for your content that serve as proof of creation and integrity. Our system tracks all interactions with your work using cryptographic records and provide tools to manage ownership rights and control how your content is used.

How does blockchain ensure the authenticity of my work?

Blockchain creates permanent, tamper-proof, and fully traceable records of your work's creation time and meta-data. These records include cryptographic hashes that uniquely identify your content. The decentralized nature of blockchain means these records cannot be altered or deleted. Courts increasingly recognize blockchain timestamps as valid evidence of creation and ownership.

Is my data secure and private on the platform?

Your data remains private and confidential on secure Amazon servers. Only blockchain records and general metadata are made public, not your actual work. You control exactly who can access your work or you can make it completely public. We use industry-standard encryption to protect all data stored on our platform.

How does RICH protect my data if shared further?

Your content is secured through traceable cryptographic blockchain records when published. Every access and interaction is logged with precise timestamps on the blockchain. You can revoke access instantly if needed while maintaining records of usage. These records include all interactions of anyone who has had access, providing court-admissible evidence if your rights are violated.

Keep your IP documented and legally protected as you work

Q: What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Your blockchain records and certificates remain permanently accessible as proof of creation. If you or someone else saved record addresses and certificates, they can be verified forever in the blockchain system. Privately published data remains accessible to you for 12 months after cancellation. Publicly published data remains permanently accessible. You can download all your data during this 12-month period for safekeeping.

With full control over origination – from creation to final handover – and with confidence that there is enough human contribution versus AI to trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to questions about our intellectual property and data integrity protection solution

What is RICH and how do you protect my intellectual property?

RICH helps startup founders and creative teams document and protect IP as they build. We privately hash and time-stamp every file, version, edit, and handover into an immutable register, creating court-ready proof of origination and ownership. You keep full control through cryptographic audit trails, permissions, and ownership records that verify who did what, when, exactly.

How does blockchain prove the origin and ownership of my work as I create it?

Blockchain turns every step of your creation process into verifiable proof of origin and ownership. Each file, version, and contribution is cryptographically hashed and time-stamped, uniquely linking it to when and how it was created without exposing the content itself. These records are immutable and cannot be altered or erased later. This creates reliable, audit-ready evidence you can instantly verify to prove authenticity, ownership, and integrity.

What protects my IP before trademarks and patents even exist?

Most of your IP is created long before trademarks or patents are even considered – in drafts, designs, datasets, code, and everyday team decisions. This early-stage IP is usually undocumented and unprotected. RICH continuously records every step of creation as it happens, time-stamping files, versions, and contributions into immutable proof of origination. This gives you verifiable ownership of your real IP from day one, not just the final outcome.

What protects IP on paper – and what protects it in real work?

On paper, IP is protected by NDAs, contracts, invoices, and signed handovers. In real work, especially for small and growing teams, keeping this documentation complete and up to date is rarely practical. Most creative decisions, drafts, and contributions remain undocumented. RICH bridges this gap by automatically recording the actual creation process, turning everyday work into time-stamped, verifiable proof of origination without extra legal or operational burden.

What happens to my IP once I share files or folders with others?

When you share any file or folder, every view, download, and interaction is automatically recorded as cryptographic proof with precise time-stamps. This creates a complete, verifiable usage history that traditional NDAs and contracts can’t provide. Even if access is later revoked, the record remains intact, giving you clear, court-ready evidence of how, when, and by whom your IP was accessed or used.

How does RICH compare to traditional IP rights registration?

RICH complements traditional IP registration rather than replacing it. Instead of waiting months for formal filings, RICH documents and protects your IP instantly as work happens. It captures far more than patents and trademarks ever cover – including drafts, designs, datasets, code, edits, and team contributions. This makes IP protection practical for startup founders and creative teams, while strengthening later trademark, patent, or copyright filings with verifiable proof of origination.

What sets RICH apart from competitors?

RICH stands apart by protecting IP as it is created, not just after the fact. Unlike tools such as ScoreDetect, Bernstein, or VerifyEd that focus mainly on basic timestamping, RICH documents the full creation lifecycle – drafts, versions, edits, roles, and handovers. Compared to heavyweight enterprise solutions like Oracle, IBM, or KeeeX, RICH removes complexity and cost barriers. It also introduces a Human vs AI Contribution Index with workflow integrations (coming soon), giving teams objective insight into how work is produced. All of this is delivered with zero blockchain friction at an unprecedentedly affordable price for startup founders, creative and research teams.

How do you protect my IP from being used by AI?

RICH protects your IP by documenting clear, verifiable ownership and usage conditions at the moment of creation. When you share files, any downloaded copy carries cryptographic markers and certificates that signal permitted and restricted use, including AI-related usage. This makes unauthorized AI training and reuse detectable and provable rather than invisible. This AI-usage protection layer is coming soon, strengthening your ability to enforce limits on how your IP is used across AI-driven systems and platforms.

How can I verify how much of my work is human-created versus AI-generated?

RICH verifies human versus AI contribution by objectively recording how work is produced, not by analysing the content itself. A dedicated contribution tracker (Chrome extension and Google Workspace integration – coming soon) captures user actions such as keystrokes, prompts, AI outputs, edits, and time spent across workflows. These signals are securely logged and time-stamped to measure the depth of genuine human input versus automated assistance. The content itself remains fully confidential – RICH records actions, not ideas – delivering transparent, verifiable attribution you can trust.

Is my data secure and private while my IP is being documented?

Your work remains private and confidential on secure servers. Neither your content nor its metadata are publicly exposed – everything is encrypted end to end. Only anonymised, cryptographic proofs are recorded on the blockchain. You fully control access rights, decide who can see what, and when. Industry-standard encryption protects all stored data while preserving verifiable proof of origination.

Is my proof of ownership legally recognized?

RICH provides verifiable proof of ownership by documenting the full creation process with cryptographic timestamps and immutable records. Such evidence is recognized as admissible in many jurisdictions, including the UK, United States, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Singapore, and China, as well as in international arbitration proceedings. The complete audit trail strengthens claims of ownership and origination by showing not only when a work existed, but how it was created.

How can others instantly verify the origin and ownership of my work?

You can issue verifiable Data Certificates for any individual file or folder and share them via a secure link or QR code. Anyone can verify when the work was created, how it evolved, and who owns it by registering in one click for free. Every verification is recorded as part of the audit trail, adding an extra layer of accountability and proof without exposing the underlying content.

What are IP Assets and how do they work?

IP Assets are verifiable digital certificates that represent ownership and origination of your work. They are created directly from your files and projects, linking creation history, contributors, and permissions into a single, cryptographically secured record. IP Assets can be divided, shared, or transferred between parties, clearly defining rights, attribution, and handover terms. This makes ownership transparent and verifiable without relying on fragmented documents or manual paperwork.

Does your solution work internationally or is it country specific?

RICH works globally with blockchain records accessible worldwide. Our timestamps serve as strong supporting evidence that can help establish priority and originality in legal proceedings across different jurisdictions. The platform aligns with international best practices for digital evidence and IP protection, including standards like ISO/IEC 18014 for time-stamping and principles endorsed by WIPO and EUIPO. The EU's eIDAS regulation also recognizes such electronic time stamps. Our digital certificates provide valuable tools for asserting rights and deterring infringement globally, though their specific legal weight varies by jurisdiction and context.

How do you handle fractional IP ownership?

By default, you retain 100% ownership of your IP Assets. You can assign precise ownership percentages to collaborators based on their contributions, both before and after IP Asset creation. All ownership shares, role changes, and transfers are automatically recorded with tamper-proof, verifiable proof, ensuring transparent and enforceable IP ownership at every stage.

What happens if someone disputes my ownership claim?

If your IP ownership is disputed, RICH provides a complete, verifiable record of how the work was created, used, and transferred. Certificates and proof reports show time-stamped versions, contributions, permissions, and handovers, establishing clear evidence of ownership and origination. Because these records are immutable and independently verifiable, they are almost impossible to challenge after the fact, shifting disputes from assumptions to objective proof.

What happens to my data if I cancel my subscription?

Your proof of origination remains independently verifiable even after cancellation. Blockchain records and certificates continue to serve as valid evidence of creation and ownership as long as the register exists. Any saved certificate references can still be checked for authenticity. Your private workspace stays accessible for 12 months so you can download all data. After that, private content is securely archived and retrievable on request, while previously issued timestamps and certificates remain valid as proof of origination.

Are there tokens/cryptocurrency involved in running transactions?

No. RICH is designed for startup founders and creative teams, not crypto users. The platform runs on a permissioned blockchain in the background, without tokens, wallets, or cryptocurrency. All verification, certificates, and transactions happen automatically, so you get the benefits of blockchain security without any blockchain complexity.
