Wikitrademarks.io provides an immutable proof of existence for your brand's assets.
A timestamped proof of existence is added to a blockchain of your choice to prove that your brand name exists and, most importantly, existed at an irrefutable date and time.
Proof of existence is especially useful in trademark disputes. It can also be used as evidence of existence when applying for a registered trademark.
Modern trademark proof of existence
There are several reasons why one might put their trademark on the blockchain:
Tamper-proof and immutable record: The blockchain is a decentralized, digital ledger that is resistant to tampering and modification. Putting a trademark on the blockchain creates an immutable record that can be used to prove ownership and authenticity.
Easy to verify: Because the blockchain is a public ledger, anyone can view the information stored on it. This makes it easy for others to verify the authenticity of a trademark that is on the blockchain.
Increased security: Because the blockchain is resistant to tampering, it offers increased security for trademark information compared to traditional methods of recording and storing trademark information.
Modern trademark proof of existence
Digital fingerprints of documents, stored on a blockchain means that we can provide an immutable, irrefutable, decentralised record of your brand's name to prove that it existed at a certain date and time.
Proof of brand existence on a blockchain reduces paperwork and administration.
The immutable record stored on a blockchain is future-proof. It will be stored there forever and can be accessed by any system.
The proof of existence can be validated with any SHA256 hashing tool. So you are not locked in to any particular proof of existence provider.
Create a project on WikiTrademarks. Projects should include items you wish to add to the blockchain.
Generate a one way (SHA256) hash that uniquely identifies your trademark. SHA256 hashes will always match the original document
Get your document's hash permenantely timestamped and added to a blockchain
No, but it will help with your trademark registration
Adding your trademark to the blockchain serves as proof of existence at a certain time. If you can add proof of usage as well it will be beneficial when applying for your trademark at the USPTO.
