The New IP Protection
apServant IP Protection Mechanisms
Anyone who creates—essentially everyone today—knows that information now moves at the speed of sound. The need to protect original ideas, insights, and creativity moves just as fast. Unfortunately, traditional systems like patents, trademarks, and other government-based ownership frameworks weren’t built to keep pace with this reality.
apServant solves this problem.
By combining multiple complementary technologies, apServant establishes a provable, time-stamped record of ownership and authenticity that is fast, reliable, and defensible. The system empowers you—the creator—to quickly and simply attribute ownership, giving you the ability to protect, trade, store, and defend your intellectual property with confidence.
In a world where ideas move instantly, apServant ensures your ownership is just as immediate—and just as undeniable.
How Does a Time Stamp Help
Insurance companies rely on:
-
Inspections
-
Engineering reports
-
Certifications
-
As-built documentation
This pushes the industry toward objective, third-party validation rather than self-attestation.
Why this matters:
Building departments are often under-resourced and focus on minimum checks. Insurers need reliable data, so they encourage:
-
Standardized documentation
-
Repeatable validation processes
-
Clear audit trails
Ok, so its recorded, now what
There are three things you must do to prove the creative content is claimed correctly: 1) Assign Ownership; 2) Record the Ownership with a timestamp; and 3) Protect your ownership. Just like a key to your house, you wouldn't give it away or change it unless there is a deal in the works, so you protect it the same way. Don't give anyone your key. In this case, you keep your document protected by a key. They key is yours to manage.
