Intellectual property

Whoever protects an invention, a patent or a creative work must prove that a document existed at a certain date, keep absolute confidentiality and track every access. Kamzan certifies all of this with tools made in Italy.

Kamzan for intellectual property

Patents, trademarks and know-how shared only with those who need to see them — with a certain date

Whoever protects an invention works with documents worth as much as the company itself: technical drawings, specifications, licence agreements, prior-art searches. Kamzan provides a confidential environment where every access is profiled and tracked, with data kept only in the European Union.

kSign’s timestamp proves the existence and integrity of a document at a certain date; versions keep track of every revision of patents, trademarks and contracts over time.

What those protecting an invention need

Recurring needs of IP firms, inventors, corporate R&D and intellectual-property consultants.

  • Certain date for priority of invention

    A timestamp certifies the existence and integrity of the document at a certain date — essential to prove priority.

  • Technical confidentiality

    Technical documents, drawings, prototypes and specifications accessible only to authorised people, with full audit trail.

  • Exchange with patent offices and consultants

    Sharing of confidential documents with consultants, patent offices and counterparties, without vulnerable e-mails.

  • Audit trail for disputes

    Full history of who viewed and downloaded what — indispensable in litigation.

From draft to filing: the chain of custody

Example: how an invention document goes through certification, confidentiality and sharing.

  1. 1 Inventor → Firm

    The inventor deposits the technical document in a reserved area accessible only to authorised people.

    Files
  2. 2 Firm → Inventor

    The document is timestamped: hash + timestamp create legal proof of its existence at a certain date.

    kSign
  3. 3 Firm → Inventor

    The document is shared with patent offices, consultants or counterparties through a virtual room with audit trail.

    kVDR
  4. 4 Firm → Inventor

    The final, timestamped and archived version stays accessible at any time with full history.

Control for the firm, clarity for the client

IP firms, R&D departments and inventors share the same file with different roles.

For the IP firm or department

  • Customised access rights: who can view, edit or share each document.
  • Document versions: every change to patents, trademarks and contracts is tracked over time.
  • Activity monitoring: who viewed and downloaded what, useful for audits or litigation.
  • Folder structure cloned for every client or matter: same flow, nothing gets lost.
  • Deadlines, filings and renewals organised on shared calendars.

For the inventor or client

  • Documents always available from any device, without requesting them by e-mail.
  • Upload of technical documentation into the dedicated folder, with notification to the firm.
  • Proof of certain date on their own invention documents, ready when needed.
  • Signing of contracts and NDAs from the phone, with legal value.

Beyond sharing

More value for collaboration on intellectual assets

Kamzan eases the work between professionals, inventors and partners, holding confidentiality and collaboration together.

  • Timestamp and certain date

    kSign applies hash and timestamp: proof that the document existed, as it is, at that date.

  • Anti-leak blocks

    Download, print and screenshot blocked on the most delicate shares.

    Every revision of a patent or a contract stays viewable and restorable.

  • Collaborative editor

    Several people work in real time on the same document, with no copies floating around.

    With Kalendo filings, renewals and key events are on a shared calendar.
