IPWeb3

EU Legal protection, built into every certificate.

Each certificate includes a tamper-evident, independently verifiable electronic timestamp under eIDAS, the EU trust-services regulation (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014). In plain terms: independent proof of when you created your work and that it has not changed since, admissible as evidence across the EU.

EU trust padlock with stars and checkmark
Recognized across all 27 EU states, and the UK
One regulation, uniform recognition, not 27 separate rules. Strong admissible evidence in Australia, the US, and beyond too.
The burden of proof flips in your favor
A qualified timestamp (eIDAS Article 42) is presumed accurate by law. Someone disputing you has to disprove it, instead of you having to prove it.
Tamper-evident to the pixel
The certificate proves your work has not been altered since you sealed it, not a single pixel, frame, or character.
You can prove it without trusting IPWeb3
You get a downloadable timestamp token and a permanent public verify page. A lawyer or a court can check it independently. If we disappeared tomorrow, your proof still stands.
A fixed date that proves you had it first
A reliable, court-relevant point in time you can stand on if anyone ever claims your work as theirs.

Two levels of proof, both real evidence

eIDAS Art. 41
Standard timestamp

A tamper-evident electronic timestamp. Valid, admissible evidence throughout the EU.

eIDAS Art. 42 · EU Legal
Qualified timestamp

Issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List. Adds the legal presumption of accuracy, the strongest status eIDAS defines.

What it does not do

Your certificate is powerful evidence, not a grant of ownership. It does not:

  • — Grant you a copyright or trademark. Those come from formal registration with an IP office (we can file that for you too, EUIPO, IP Australia, and more).
  • — Prove you personally created the work, only that you held and claimed it at that time.
  • — Override an earlier claim from someone who can show they had the work before you.

EU Legal timestamps are issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider listed on the EU Trusted List under eIDAS (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014). The provider holds the qualified status; IPWeb3 is a customer of a listed provider, not an EU institution and not itself EU-certified.
