A dated, verifiable record of your work, before you need it.
Create a timestamped evidence record for manuscripts, artwork, music, code, designs, trade secrets and AI-assisted work. Your files stay in your own storage; IP Vault gives you a record you can hand to a platform, client or court.

The problem
What makes this hard to prove today
Most evidence problems are not about whether a file exists. They are about whether you can show what it was, when it existed and that it has not changed since.
File metadata is easy to change
Creation dates, EXIF fields and even Git commit dates can be edited in seconds. A file on its own does not prove when it existed.
Platform timestamps belong to someone else
Email drafts, cloud uploads and social posts depend on a platform that may change, close or dispute its own logs.
AI-assisted work needs a human record
Prompts, model versions, seeds and human curation are part of the authorship story, especially under US and UK guidance.
Updates are difficult to prove
A newer file does not show what changed, which version came first, or whether it replaced an earlier certificate.
What you get
An evidence pack you can actually use
IP Vault produces the sealed record. Your team keeps control of the files and decides who receives the verification link.
A sealed evidence pack
Your files, a signed declaration and the proof files are bundled into a ZIP you keep and control.
Two independent time anchors
An eIDAS-qualified timestamp and a Bitcoin OpenTimestamps proof are issued together on every run.
A shareable verification link
Give a client, marketplace, platform or court a public record they can inspect without trusting your screenshots.
Chained revisions
A new version can embed the previous certificate hash and record why it changed, creating a provable version history.
How it works
Three steps, no new storage platform
Upload your work
Files are hashed in memory. The originals are not retained by IP Vault; only the digest and declaration metadata are used to issue the record.
Seal the record
The archive is timestamped through an eIDAS-qualified authority and anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.
Keep and share it
Download the ZIP or save it to your own Google Drive, OneDrive or local storage, then share the verification link when you need it.
Regulatory context
Built around the rules that matter
IP Vault records evidence and generates declaration templates. It is not a law firm, does not provide legal advice and does not guarantee a legal outcome.
Who it is for
Built for teams that have to show their work
Common questions
The short answers
Does this register my copyright?
Do you store my files?
Can I prove a later version?
Is this legal advice?
Create the record now, decide who sees it later
Start with a single protection run. Keep the archive, share the verification link, and add revisions when the work changes.
