Solutions
For startups
Secure what makes up your value before you show it. In a few clicks, without slowing your pace.
Move faster than the system
Why traditional IP can't keep up.
A good idea will be copied if it succeeds — that's a working assumption, not pessimism. The problem is that the traditional intellectual property system was designed for an industrial pace: months of examination, high costs, a complexity that pushes out precisely the most innovative structures.
Ipocamp closes that gap. You certify the code, the mockups, the plan, the key exchanges the moment they're produced; the fingerprint is computed on your side, timestamped by a qualified authority, and published in a tamper-proof registry. Nothing is disclosed: your file never leaves your machine.
The patent, if you ever file one, will come later. Until then, your prior existence is established, your ownership is documented, and your due diligence is half done.
Simple
No legal expertise required. A browser, a drag-and-drop, a certificate — and the same gesture, repeated, builds a case file.
Affordable
No lawyer to file, no subscription to keep it. The proof is paid for once and stays valid for life.
Solid
SHA-256 fingerprint, secure timestamping, tamper-proof registry. Admissible in civil matters — Article 1358 of the French Civil Code.
What it changes
Four differences for a young company
What actually changes when you've timestamped your work — while building, and the day someone challenges it.
No one can stop you from using your idea
An established group has more resources and more lawyers than you. But if it can't challenge your date, what it spent on filings counts for nothing against it.
Move forward without looking over your shoulder
Knowing every iteration is dated changes the way you work: you show things earlier, you test more widely, you waste less energy calculating what you can reveal.
Share without putting yourself at risk
A product is built with feedback: investors, pilot customers, vendors. Signaling that the work is on record deters most copying before it happens.
Ownership, settled at the source
Founders, employees, freelancers: tying each contribution to its author the moment it's produced avoids the gray area that's most costly in due diligence.
Common use cases
What startups certify
Three moments when a deposit is called for, at every stage of building.
Pitch decks & business plans
The company's most widely shared document. Certifying it before the first send fixes the content and the date.
Open →Source code & algorithms
A Git repository can be rewritten; a certificate can't. Anchor your deliveries outside the repository, automatically.
Open →NDAs and contracts
The signed agreement and its appendices, fixed down to the bit: what exact text, and on what date.
Open →Timestamp what you're building, starting today.
