This white paper explores how blockchain can transform the intellectual property (IP) ecosystem by improving transparency, security, and efficiency. It proposes a decentralized, trusted environment for managing IP rights, enabling secure proof of ownership, streamlined licensing, and better enforcement. Blockchain supports timestamping, smart contracts, and metadata management, reducing disputes and administrative burdens. The paper highlights challenges such as legal alignment, interoperability, and scalability but argues that with global collaboration, blockchain can enhance innovation and create a more accessible, efficient IP rights infrastructure.
