IP ownership

The original intangible assets will be owned by the two companies delivering the platform. Much of the platform will be based on open source code and where code licence terms require sharing of some of our product on equivalent terms (e.g. under a GPL licence) we will abide by the terms of these licences. Our platform will be built on the shoulders of giants and we expect others will build upon some of the ideas in our platform. The idea of a smart contract is not novel or an IP platform is not novel, all that is novel is our implementation.

We will create and protect a new brand. This will be registered as a trademark in the UK and China in the first instance. Within 12 months of registration we will register the brand in other territories as appropriate e.g. EU, USA.
