Crypto & Blockchain Intellectual Property


Our dedicated IP Attorneys will work to help keep your crypto and blockchain trade secrets safe.

The crypto and blockchain space has been likened by many to be the second coming of the internet. Similar to the first digital revolution that occurred in the 90s, this new shift in technology has resulted in thousands of new ideas being put forth to push the space more into the reality of mainstream adoption. As more and more technologies are introduced to the decentralized web, the importance of adopting proper intellectual property practices also becomes more essential.

We know that the state of this new space is very new and ripe for innovation, and we specialize in helping you ensure that you can carve your own unique innovations in this highly competitive and active space.

Intellectual Property In The Crypto and Blockchain Industry

Intellectual property plays a unique role in the budding blockchain industry. The core theme of this space is decentralization, which means that many platforms operate under distributed ownership. This factor and others that are uniquely present in this space create an intellectual property scenario that is not found in any other type of industry. It is important to work with a team who can apply its extensive experience in order to pave a new path forward for innovators in this space. The main intellectual property practices that are used in the blockchain sector include:

Patents

Patents are the key intellectual property aspect of new technologies associated with blockchain and cryptocurrency. Banks like Wells Fargo and Bancorp all have engaged in patents relating to decentralized finance, showing how mainstream companies are rushing to secure IP in this sector before the rush hits.
Patents are important in order to secure your unique place in the market and ensure that you are properly differentiated from the competition.

Copyright

The trademark and copyrights that you secure help to ensure that other projects cannot steal the branding and imagery that you have created surrounding your venture. This aspect of intellectual property helps new innovations to further separate themselves from competitors and stand out to consumers and businesses alike.

Trade Secrets

Trade secrets are a common alternative to patents and can help to enable you to maintain the confidentiality of your innovations. Trade secret law provides a method for obtaining protection for innovative and valuable information such as a formula or algorithm. Trade secrets are kept secret through non-disclosure agreements and offer good protection if you are able to keep these ideas secret. If these secrets are disclosed or found out, however, then these protections are lost.
