Companies, research institutions, and startups develop new processes, products, designs, formulas, software, or technical concepts. Valuable ideas often emerge long before a patent application is filed or intellectual property rights are formally secured.
Without reliable time records, it can be difficult to prove when an idea, a concept, or a stage of development first existed. This can be relevant in patent disputes, collaborative projects, investor due diligence, or IP conflicts.
Invention documentation, lab reports, technical concepts, source code, drawings, and development milestones are time-stamped. This documents that a specific piece of content existed at a specific point in time. Across multiple development milestones, this can create a traceable history of innovation. Verifying the dates of invention is listed as a use case in the product profiles.
TSS 500 is suitable for individual invention documents or development stages, eRecApp for larger volumes of research and development documentation, and RECORDPROOF for long-term archiving to preserve evidentiary value.
