Chained !P is the infrastructure for securing and managing trade secrets in the digital age.
Trade secrets remain largely unprotected.
Patents and trademarks benefit from formal registration systems. Trade secrets and proprietary know-how, like many other unregistered IP assets, do not.
Without reasonable protection measures, IP owners struggle to prove ownership, protection, or controlled disclosure in legal disputes, often leading to the loss of their assets. Courts will not consider your trade secret a secret if there are no provable protection measures!
Chained !P solves this problem by offering you a simple customized system to truly protect your trade secrets; built for proof, visibility and better control.

We use secure technologies to create verifiable proof of ownership and timing. This includes qualified timestamps (e.g. eIDAS) or blockchain timestamps, or a combination thereof.

Our solutions safeguard all unregistered IP assets, including trade secrets, know-how, confidential data, creative works, designs, copyrights, and provide a reliable way to prove trademark use, prior IP usage, or establish IP ownership in disputes. This all strengthens your position in defending your IP assets, deterring infringement and enforcing your rights.
Yes, where appropriate. We use blockchain and other secure timestamping technologies as part of a broader system designed to create verifiable and legally defensible proof.
To qualify as a trade secret, information must meet three criteria:
Problem:
Many companies struggle to prove to courts that stolen information was a trade secret due to a lack of traceable protection measures; without proving that such measures were implemented, your trade secret is effectively not a trade secret.
Solution:
Our solutions provide precisely these reasonable protection measures and raise the bar even higher with blockchain technology, as records on the blockchain cannot be changed retroactively (i.e. evidence cannot be faked).
