Bernstein helps creators, businesses, research institutions and IP professionals document innovation and protect confidential know-how with verifiable evidence. Established in 2016, Bernstein provides an Innovation Evidence Platform for building certified records of source code, designs, research results, trade secrets and other digital assets as they develop. The platform combines Bitcoin blockchain anchoring with qualified EU timestamps and timestamps from a Chinese authority. Files are encrypted in the browser before upload, so Bernstein cannot read their contents. Certificates can be verified independently, without relying on Bernstein. Secure sharing and certified references help connect confidential information to NDAs, licensing agreements and collaboration. Bernstein supports evidence of when information existed and whether it has changed, helping users substantiate their IP claims. Bernstein is operated by IP LEVERAGED SAS in Strasbourg, France.
