EU legal recognition

EU Legal protection, built into every proof.

Each record 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 had your work and that it has not changed since, admissible as evidence across the EU.

Admissible as evidence across the EU

Under eIDAS, an electronic timestamp cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility in legal proceedings across all 27 EU states. Recognized in the UK, with a strong evidentiary record in Australia, the US, and beyond.

An independent, trusted record, not just your word

The timestamp comes from an independent time source under the eIDAS framework, not from you, so it stands on its own.

Tamper-evident to the pixel

Your record proves your work has not been altered since it was sealed, not a single pixel, frame, or character.

Verifiable 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, reliable date of creation

A dependable, court-relevant point in time you can rely on if you ever need to show you had your work first.

Two levels of proof, both real evidence.

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

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.

FAQ

Common questions.

What legal weight does an IPWeb3 record carry in the EU? +

Each record includes an electronic timestamp under eIDAS (Regulation (EU) No 910/2014), admissible as evidence across all 27 EU member states. EU Legal records carry a qualified timestamp (Article 42) issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider, which adds a legal presumption of accuracy, the strongest status eIDAS defines.

Can the proof be verified without trusting IPWeb3? +

Yes. You receive a downloadable timestamp token and a permanent public verification page. A lawyer or a court can verify it independently using standard tools. If IPWeb3 disappeared, your proof would still stand on its own.

Does it grant me a copyright or trademark? +

No. It is powerful evidence of when you had your work and that it has not changed since, not a grant of ownership. Registered rights come from a formal IP office; IPWeb3 can also help you file with EUIPO, IP Australia, and others.
