The evidentiary burden, moved upstream
The work your teams shouldn't have to do anymore.
In an infringement case, the most thankless part is reconstructing a timeline: tracking down emails, digging up files, getting colleagues to attest, arguing over the reliability of metadata. That work is long, costly for the client, and its strength depends on what survived.
When the client has certified their work as they went, that step disappears. The timeline already exists, it's dated by a qualified authority, and a third party can verify it without going through you or us.
Ipocamp doesn't draft, doesn't litigate, and files no titles. The service documents what your clients produce between meetings with you: the raw material for your case files.
For the firm
What you gain from it
A tool worth recommending, a workload moved elsewhere, and a client relationship that stays yours.
You stay the point of reference
Ipocamp is complementary, never a competitor. You advise, you decide the filing strategy, you litigate. The service just dates and preserves.
Exhibits ready to submit
PDF certificate with fingerprint, date, timestamping authority and public verification link; full case export, item by item. No reprocessing before proceedings.
An answer for non-patentable cases
Some of your consultations concern creations no title will ever cover. You don't always have an operational answer to offer: this is one.
No cost to you
It's the end client who subscribes. The partner program gives you a dedicated contact, materials with your branding, and tracking of the cases you've referred.
Firm questions
What your peers ask
The six points raised systematically in the first conversation.
Evidentiary value
Is it admissible?
In civil matters, evidence is unrestricted (Art. 1358 of the French Civil Code). The judge assesses the reliability of the process: secure timestamping and a tamper-proof registry meet that requirement.
Confidentiality
What do you see of the file?
Nothing. Without a subscription, the fingerprint is computed in the client's browser and only 32 bytes are transmitted; with a subscription, the client can also entrust us with the source file, encrypted, for better filing. Whether storage is handled by them or by our servers, the content stays confidential either way.
Independence
Do you need an account to verify?
No. Verification is done from the certificate and the fingerprint, using open standards, with no account and without us.
Retention
For how long?
For life, with no recurring fees. A dispute arising ten years later is still covered by the original certificate.
Scope
Does this replace a filing?
No. A patent or trademark grants a monopoly; a certificate documents a date. The two complement each other, and the strategic call remains yours.
Insurance
Who bears the risk?
Distribution is handled by Ipocamp, a broker registered with ORIAS. The firm acts neither as intermediary nor as underwriter.
