The IP you produce every day

The intellectual property assets produced every day.

Innovation moves faster than the formal intellectual property system. Long before any filing, your teams produce code, designs, experimental data, specifications and know-how, continuously, across departments and sites. These assets have value, while their documentation often stays inconsistent.

The day a dispute, an audit, or a competitor's patent raises the question "what did we have, and since when?", shared drives and email threads make the case hard to demonstrate. Trade secret protection rests on demonstrating reasonable measures. Prior personal possession rests on verifiable dates.

Ipocamp gives your IP and R&D teams a single, governed platform to timestamp this evidence the moment it's created. The fingerprint is published and the file is transferred, encrypted, to the storage set by your plan.

Governance

Built to be deployed

The controls your security, legal and IT teams expect, before approving one more tool.

Roles and access policies

Permissions define who can timestamp, review and retrieve evidence. They are structured by team, by project and by business unit.

Single sign-on

Log in through your identity provider via SAML or OIDC, two login standards, with provisioning and deprovisioning through the systems you already run.

Chained audit log

Every action is recorded in an unalterable log: who did what, when, with demonstrable integrity, exportable for your audits.

Controlled data residency

Encrypted files stay in the storage and jurisdiction you designate. The fingerprint is published to allow verification.

Spaces per entity

Each subsidiary or division has its own space, its own users and its own history, while sharing the group's policy.

Quotas per team

Timestamping credits allocated per user or per division keep the budget predictable and usage transparent.

Program

Managing trade secrets at scale

Protecting a secret relies on a consistent discipline. The judge looks at whether you took reasonable measures, and whether you can prove what the secret was, and since when.

→Timestamp sensitive documents, code and datasets as soon as they're created
→Align access policies with confidentiality obligations
→Reference fingerprints in NDAs, employment contracts and licenses
→Produce a complete traceability record whenever proof is requested

Defend through prior existence

The same evidence supports prior personal possession and enables defensive publication: submitting your work as prior art to prevent a third party from patenting what your teams have already invented.

Procurement, security, legal

Your evaluators' questions

What comes up in tool review, addressed upfront.

Confidentiality

What do you see of our files?

The SHA-256 fingerprint is computed at the time of deposit. The file is transferred, encrypted, to the storage set by your plan and its content stays confidential.

Access

How do people log in?

Through your identity provider, via SAML or OIDC, two login standards, with an optional additional factor.

Audit

Can activity be audited?

Yes: an unalterable chained log, viewable and exportable by your security and compliance teams.

Reversibility

How does reversibility work?

Certificates are verified using open standards, independently of Ipocamp. Your evidence stays verifiable after the contract ends.

Deployment

Multiple subsidiaries?

Yes: one space per entity, separate policies and audit trails, shared group-level governance.

Costs

How do we control the budget?

Credit quotas per user and per team, with real-time visibility into consumption.
