Abstract
Systems and methods are provided including an implementation where a written new idea is reduced to a document, such as a Patent Application, which can be put through a secure hash algorithm to create a hash of the entire document, or at least a portion thereof. A time stamp is applied to the hash by posting the hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability.
Claims11
A method of storing documents comprising:
- creating a hash of a document, or at least a portion thereof;
- applying a time stamp to the hash by posting the hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability;
- combining the time stamp and the hash to create a time-stamped hash of the document;
- and
- posting the time-stamped hash of the document on a new blockchain.

A method of storing documents comprising:
- creating a first hash of a first document, or at least a portion thereof;
- applying a first time stamp to the first hash by posting the first hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability;
- combining the first time stamp and the first hash to create a first time-stamped hash of the first document;
- creating a second hash of a second document, or at least a portion thereof;
- applying a second time stamp to the second hash by posting the second hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability;
- combining the second time stamp and the second hash to create a second time-stamped hash of the second document;
- and
- posting the first time-stamped hash and the second time-stamped hash as respective blocks on a new blockchain.
5 more elements
A method of storing documents comprising:
- creating a first hash of a first part of a document, or at least a portion of the first part;
- applying a first time stamp to the first hash by posting the first hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability;
- combining the first time stamp and the first hash to create a first time-stamped hash of the first part;
- creating a second hash of a second part of the document, or at least a portion of the second part;
- applying a second time stamp to the second hash by posting the second hash to a website and/or using time stamp hardware having an authentication capability;
- combining the second time stamp and the second hash to create a second time-stamped hash of the second part;
- and
- posting the first time-stamped hash and the second time-stamped hash as respective blocks on a new blockchain.
