The IP you produce every day
What already exists, and that nothing documents.
Innovation moves faster than the formal intellectual property system. Long before any filing, your teams produce code, designs, experimental data, specifications and know-how — continuously, across departments and sites. Most of it has value; almost none of it is documented systematically.
The day a dispute, an audit, or a competitor's patent raises the question "what did we have, and since when?", shared drives and email threads aren't an answer. Trade secret protection rests on demonstrating reasonable measures; prior personal possession rests on verifiable dates.
Ipocamp gives your IP and R&D teams a single, governed platform to certify this evidence the moment it's created, without ever transmitting the files themselves.
Governance
Built to be deployed
The controls your security, legal and IT teams expect — before approving one more tool.
Roles and access policies
The right people certify, review and retrieve evidence; others don't. Permissions are structured by team, by project and by business unit.
Single sign-on
Log in through your identity provider via SAML or OIDC, with provisioning and deprovisioning through the systems you already run.
Chained audit log
Every action is recorded in a tamper-proof log: who did what, when, with demonstrable integrity — exportable for your audits.
Controlled data residency
Encrypted files stay in the storage and jurisdiction you designate. Only the fingerprint is published.
Spaces per entity
Each subsidiary or division has its own space, its own users and its own history, while sharing the group's policy.
Quotas per team
Certification credits allocated per user or per division keep the budget predictable and usage transparent.
Program
Managing trade secrets at scale
Protecting a secret isn't a filing, it's a discipline. The judge looks at whether you took reasonable measures — and whether you can prove what the secret was, and since when.
→Certify sensitive documents, code and datasets as soon as they're created
→Align access policies with confidentiality obligations
→Reference fingerprints in NDAs, employment contracts and licenses
→Produce a complete traceability record for every demo request
Defend through prior existence
The same evidence supports prior personal possession and enables defensive publication: submitting your work as prior art to prevent a third party from patenting what your teams have already invented.

Your evaluators' questions
What comes up in tool review, addressed upfront.
Confidentiality
Do you see our files?
No. Only a SHA-256 fingerprint leaves your environment; the content stays encrypted and under your control.
Access
How do people log in?
Through your identity provider, via SAML or OIDC, with an optional additional factor.
Audit
Can activity be audited?
Yes: a tamper-proof chained log, viewable and exportable by your security and compliance teams.
Reversibility
Are we locked in?
No. Certificates are verified using open standards, independent of Ipocamp. Your evidence outlives the contract.
Deployment
Multiple subsidiaries?
Yes: one space per entity, separate policies and audit trails, shared group-level governance.
Costs
How do we control the budget?
Credit quotas per user and per team, with real-time visibility into consumption.
