Abstract
System and method for storing, managing, disseminating and sharing intellectual property asset information among users over a communications network. The system comprises a processor based server, a client processor based device, and a centralized database. The server processes each intellectual property information received from the client device through a hash function to provide a message digest, thereby providing a digital fingerprint and an attestation trail for each intellectual property information. The server aggregates all message digests to provide a system level message digest, thereby providing an attestation trail for the centralized database. The server transmits the system level message digest to a third party for storage or publication to prevent tampering and to maintain integrity of the centralized database.
